Abstract
A micro-shell transducer includes a substrate; an electro-active medium mounted on the substrate and including an arched section spaced from the substrate defining a chamber between the substrate and arched section; and a pair of electrodes mounted on the medium for either applying an electric field across the medium for flexing the arched section or sensing the electric field generated by a flexure of the medium.
