A multi-layer piezoelectric component includes a plurality of
piezoelectric layers, a first inner electrode sheet, a second inner
electrode sheet, a first outer electrode, and a second outer electrode.
The piezoelectric layers are wound around an axis to form a laminar roll
having first and second end faces transverse to the axis. The
piezoelectric layers include at least one first layer and at least one
second layer. Each of the first and second layers has opposite first and
second edges respectively at the first and second end faces, and opposite
inner and outer circumferential surfaces. The first and second inner
electrode sheets respectively overlie the inner circumferential surfaces
of the first and second layers. The first and second outer electrodes are
respectively and electrically connected to the first and second inner
electrode sheets.
