Publication number: 20230089456Abstract: In a vibration device, an operation unit has an operation surface operated by a user. A plurality of piezoelectric elements are disposed so as to overlap the operation surface when viewed from the direction orthogonal to the operation surface. The plurality of piezoelectric elements are disposed at mutually different positions in the direction along the operation surface.
