Abstract

A button device includes a piezoelectric element which includes a piezoelectric body with one surface on which a first external electrode and a second external electrode are formed and a plate with one surface attached to the other surface of the piezoelectric body, a supporting plate disposed on the one surface of the piezoelectric body, a cover disposed on the other surface of the plate, a first spacer provided between an edge portion of the one surface of the plate and the supporting plate, a second spacer provided between at least a part of an edge portion of the other surface of the plate and the cover to provide a separation space between the plate and the cover, and a dot provided in the separation space to transfer an external force to the piezoelectric element or to transfer a vibration of the piezoelectric element to the cover.
