Abstract

A sound producing device includes a base and at least one chip disposed on the base. The chip includes at least one membrane and at least one actuator. The membrane includes a coupling plate and at least one spring structure connected to the coupling plate. The actuator is configured to receive a driving signal corresponding to an input audio signal to actuate the membrane, and the input audio signal and the driving signal have an input audio band which has an upper bound at a maximum frequency. The spring structure is situated between the coupling plate and the actuator. The membrane has a first resonance frequency higher than the maximum frequency.
