PRESSURE WAVE GENERATION ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME

摘要

A pressure wave generation element comprising a support body 10 and a heat-generating layer 20 that is provided upon the support body 10 and generates heat using power supplied thereto. The heat-generating layer 20 includes fibers having a surface at least partially covered by a metal coating.　As a result of this configuration, a pressure wave generation element having improved acoustic pressure and appropriate electrical resistance can be provided.
