An acceleration sensor comprises a vibrating element formed by arranging conductor films on outer main surfaces of piezoelectric substrates in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and first supporting members for holding a part of the vibrating element, the first supporting members being composed of an elastic body, and a bending point of the vibrating element being positioned within a supporting region held between the first supporting members. This causes a region, which is distorted, in each of the piezoelectric substrates to be enlarged. Therefore, the amount of charges to be generated is increased so that an output voltage is increased, which allows acceleration detection sensitivity to be further enhanced. |
