Abstract

A linear vibration motor includes: a top cover; a bracket coupled with the top cover to provide an internal space; a vibration unit having a mass body mounted at the internal space and linearly moving in a horizontal direction; an actuator having a magnet fixed to the mass body and a coil installed within a range of a magnetic field of the magnet and generating electromagnetic force to allow the vibration unit to move linearly in a horizontal direction; and a buffer member disposed in a space between the mass body and the bracket and limiting displacement of the vibration unit.
