In the embodiments described in the specification, electrodes (31) are bonded to the surface of a ceramic piezoelectric layer (10) by supporting electrodes having a reduced dimension on a flexible dielectric film (30) and placing the dielectric film under tension to expand the film (30) and the electrodes (31) sufficiently to conform the electrodes (31) to the desired electrode pattern on the ceramic piezoelectric layer (10). The electrodes (31) are then bonded to the piezoelectric layer (10) with an adhesive bonding agent (22) under pressure applied hydraulically so as to be distributed uniformly throughout the surface of the piezoelectric layer. In one embodiment the dielectric film (30) also carries conductor arrays (35) for connecting the electrodes (31) to remote driver chips at locations spaced from the surface of the piezoelectric layer (10). |
