Abstract: An acoustic actuator according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: an actuator element generating a corresponding sound in response to an applied electrical signal; a supporting member supporting the actuator element so as to form a movement axis of the actuator element; and an edge member connected with the actuator element. The actuator element includes: a piezoelectric unit having at least one piezoelectric member of which a length is larger than a width by at least ?{square root over (2)} times; and a membrane unit including at least one membrane member generating the corresponding sound in response to the applied electrical signal, by being fixedly adhered to the piezoelectric unit so as to extend in a length direction of the at least one piezoelectric member and by forming wave movement in the extending direction in response to a current applied to the piezoelectric unit.
