The sound generation of piezoelectric ceramics is achieved through the piezoelectric effect. When piezoelectric ceramic material is subjected to an external electric field, it undergoes mechanical deformation, such as bending or vibrating. This vibration generates sound waves in the air, thereby producing sound. In simple terms, the sound generation principle of piezoelectric ceramics is to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, and then use mechanical vibrations to produce sound waves.
Bone conduction earpieces work by placing the phone against the skull, bypassing the outer and middle ear, and converting vibrations through the skull into sound. However, this method of sound transmission requires the phone to be tightly pressed against the head. In contrast, piezoelectric ceramic sound generation allows the earpiece to function without requiring an opening in the phone, and it does not limit the phone's position during a call.
