The scented component includes a housing, a chamber located in the housing, a ventilation opening penetrating through the housing to communicate with the chamber, and a vibration unit disposed in the chamber. The first materials are provided in the chamber, and have a first scent. The driving unit is connected to the vibration unit. The vibration unit is controlled by the driving unit to vibrate and produce an airflow of perturbation in the chamber, so as to prompt the first materials to pass through the ventilation opening and discharge out of the chamber to disperse the first scent. The miniature scent generating device has the advantage of unlikely spoiled and readily controlling a release concentration of the scent. | 11-07-2013 |
