A piezoelectric electro-acoustic transducer includes a piezoelectric vibration plate (1) having plural piezoelectric ceramic layers (1A,1B) laminated to each other with an internal electrode (4) being interposed between the ceramic layers, and main-face electrodes (2,3) formed on the front and back surfaces thereof, whereby area bending vibration is caused by application of an AC signal between the main-face electrodes (2,3) and the internal electrode (4), respectively, a resin film (10) formed so as to have a larger size than the piezoelectric vibration plate (1) and having the piezoelectric vibration plate bonded substantially to the central portion of the surface thereof, and a casing (20) which accommodates the piezoelectric vibration plate (1) and the resin film (10). The piezoelectric vibration plate (1) has an area equal to 40 to 70% of that of the resin film (10). The inner peripheral surface of the case is provided with a supporting portion (20f) having a frame shape larger than that of the piezoelectric vibration plate (1), and the outer peripheral portion of the resin film having no piezoelectric vibration plate bonded thereto is supported by the supporting portion (20f) of the case. |
