Patent number: 9942665Abstract: A cover member is made of a crystalline material, and includes a first main surface that faces a display surface of a display, and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface. A vibration element produces flexural vibrations, and is disposed on the first main surface of the cover member. The cover member is bent in a second direction more easily than in a first direction from the viewpoint of anisotropy of a crystalline structure of the crystalline material. The first direction is parallel to the first and second main surfaces, and the second direction is parallel to the first and second main surfaces and vertical to the first direction. The vibration element produces flexural vibrations along the second direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2016Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Yasuhito Kanemaki, Norikazu Morioka

Patent number: 9756749Abstract: An electronic apparatus is disclosed. In one embodiment, an electronic apparatus comprises a display, a cover member, a piezoelectric vibrating element, a controller, a housing, a bonding material, and an intervening member. The bonding material between the housing and a peripheral end of an inner surface of the cover member is configured to bond the housing and the cover member. The inner surface of the cover member includes a partial region in which the bonding material is absent. The partial region includes a region in which the piezoelectric vibrating element is located and extends to one part of a periphery of the inner surface. The intervening member is located between the housing and a region of the partial region close to the one part of the periphery relative to the piezoelectric vibrating element and is less likely to interfere with a vibration of the cover member than the bonding material.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2016Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Yasuhito Kanemaki, Tomoki Tsuchiya
