Flexible Speakers :
- A loudspeaker, which is less than 0.25mm thick, is the latest invention in technology presented by engineers from University of Warwick.
- The device is flexible and can be easily hung up a wall in an apartment.
- Due to its specific technique of producing sound, it can be used as a way of making clear public announcements in different places, such as passenger terminals.
- The flexible speaker works by transforming an electric signal into sound.
- In conventional speakers the signal is used to produce a varying magnetic field that vibrates a mechanical cone, thus making the sound.
- However, the technology behind these flexible speakers connects thin, conducting and insulating, materials that create a flexible laminate. When an electrical signal excites the laminate, it vibrates, so generating sound.
