Piezoelectric resonator and a piezoelectric component including piezoelectric resonator

摘要

A piezoelectric resonator includes a substantially rectangular shaped piezoelectric substrate having a pair of major surfaces and polarized in the thickness direction thereof and a pair of electrodes respectively disposed on the pair of major surfaces of the piezoelectric substrate. One of the electrodes is multiply divided along a dividing line which extends along the longitudinal direction of the piezoelectric substrate. The piezoelectric substrate is polarized such that two portions of the piezoelectric substrate sandwiching the dividing line are polarized in opposite directions.
