<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a piezoelectric vibrator which can greatly shorten the heat treatment working time for differentiating or reversing the polarization direction, and which can also greatly reduce the working costs, and to provide a vibration gyroscope, using the piezoelectric vibrator and electronic equipment which uses the vibration gyroscope. <P>SOLUTION: In the piezoelectric vibrator 1, a plurality of interdigital electrodes 3 and 4 are formed on at least one surface 2a of the vibrating body 2, consisting of a piezoelectric single crystal which is polarized in a direction parallel to the surface 2a. A part 2b of the surface region of the vibrating body 2, positioned between the interdigital electrodes 3 and 4, is polarized in a direction that is different from or is reversed to the polarization direction X of the vibrating body 2 itself, namely in the direction of the polarization reverse direction Y. The vibration gyroscope 10 is constituted, using the piezoelectric vibrator 1, and the electronic equipment 20 is composed of the vibration gyroscope 10. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
