Abstract

An energy trapping type piezoelectric resonance device utilizing the mode of thickness extensional vibration comprises a plate-shaped body of a piezoelectric material and three or more electrodes provided to be opposed to each other through peizoelectric material layers in the direction of thickness of the body. At least one of the electrodes is provided to be smaller in area than the major surfaces of the body, to be capable of energy trapping.
