  text: Piezoelectric transformers are well known since the publication of some patent
    applications at the end of the 1950s. But until today their only business use
    lies in the field of backlighting systems for LCDs. Due to key features as light-weight,
    flatness, high step-up at low volume and high efficiency piezoelectric transformers
    should be usable in a much broader range of applications. This contribution returns
    to mind their operating principle, shows how to model and to develop such devices
    as well as give some aspects for development trends that will lead to further
    applications.
