The present invention provides a sensory signal output apparatus wherein a coil is disposed in the gap between a magnet/top plate and a yoke, and a portion elastically supported in the free space vibrates in reaction to the magnetic flux generated in the gap in accordance with the direction of the alternating current signal applied to the coil to generate sound and/or vibration, wherein the yoke has a groove formed at a side other than that with the magnet, and the groove has a diameter smaller than that of the magnet, and an inner edge portion with a magnetic fluid. The sensory signal output apparatus of the present invention improves the position retaining force of the magnetic fluid and reduces the deformation of the magnetic fluid, as the magnetic fluid is formed in the edge of the groove of the yoke corresponding to the edge portion of the magnet which has a relatively bigger magnetic force and magnetic field than the plane portion of the magnet. Further, as the magnetic fluid is formed in the edge of the groove such that the magnetic fluid is present at both sides (the horizontal side and the vertical side) extending from the edge, the magnetic fluid at the horizontal side serves to relieve impact caused by a collision against peripheral elements during vibration, and the magnetic fluid at the vertical side corrects center deviation during vibration. |
