Abstract:
A speaker system includes a display panel for displaying an image; a transparent panel provided such that the image displayed in the display panel is viewed through the transparent panel; an electric-mechanical-acoustic-transducer having a diaphragm for outputting a sound by vibrating the diaphragm in accordance with an electric signal; and an acoustic signal transfer member for transferring the sound output from the electric-mechanical-acoustic-transducer to a space provided between the display panel and the transparent panel. The transparent panel is allowed to be vibrated by the sound transferred to the space from the electric-mechanical-acoustic-transducer via the acoustic signal transfer member.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a sound reproduction device which includes an LCD 20, which is an exemplary front panel, a case 22, and an electromechanical acoustic transducer 23. The LCD 20 is operable to perform a predetermined operation in response to an electrical signal applied thereto. A space 24 for sound emission is formed between the case 22 and the LCD 20. The electromechanical acoustic transducer 23 is connected to the case 22, and emits sound to the space 24. If the electromechanical acoustic transducer 23 emits the sound to the space 24, energy of the emitted sound causes the LCD 20 to vibrate and thereby to externally output the sound.
Abstract:
The present invention purposes to realize an electro-mechanical and acoustic transducer capable of generating both strong vibration and sound. In an electro-mechanical and acoustic transducer of the present invention, mass of a mechanical vibration system of the electro-mechanical and acoustic transducer is increased by attaching a weight to a magnetic circuit unit or integrated the weight with the magnetic circuit unit, whereby large vibration is obtained from the electro-mechanical and acoustic transducer.

Abstract:
In an electroacoustic transducer of the present invention, a casing supports a diaphragm, a drive coil is provided on the diaphragm, a first magnetic structure has a first space in a center thereof provided within the casing such that a center axis penetrates the first space, and a second magnetic structure has a second space in a center thereof provided within the casing on a side opposed to the first magnetic structure with respect to the diaphragm, such that the center axis penetrates the second space. The first magnetic structure is oriented such that a magnetization direction thereof is parallel to the center axis. The second magnetic structure is oriented such that a magnetization direction thereof is opposite to the magnetization direction of the first magnetic structure.
Abstract:
A first magnet is provided in an upper case and a second magnet is provided in a lower case so that these magnets face each other. These magnets are magnetized in opposite directions. A diaphragm having a drive coil is placed between these magnets. Thus, magnetic flux emitted from the respective magnets bends in a direction approximately perpendicular to the initial direction of emission of the flux. In the magnetic field, the component of the magnetic flux in the direction of radiation proportional to the driving force is dominant, and is symmetrical relative to the direction of vibration. Therefore, the sound pressure of the reproduced sound is increased and the secondary harmonic distortion caused by asymmetry of the driving force can be reduced.
Abstract:
A loudspeaker diaphragm affixed with a coil includes an edge portion located outside of a portion affixed with the coil and a center portion located inside of the portion affixed with the coil. The center portion is provided thereon with ribs. With these ribs, the height of the center portion can be limited to the height of the ribs. Therefore, it is possible to save a space of a loudspeaker where the loudspeaker diaphragm is placed, thereby slimming down the loudspeaker. Furthermore, with these ribs, the rigidity of the center portion can be improved without using a conventional solution of forming, for example, a dome shape on the center portion.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electromagnetic electro-acoustic transducer to be used for generating an incoming indicator tone for mobile phones and the like. A resin magnet 11 is formed with a hard magnetic material and a soft magnetic material, the lowest resonant frequency can be easily set by changing the magnetic flux density in a magnetic gap by changing the compound ratio of the soft magnetic material, a high magnetic flux density is attained by increasing the magnetic permeability of the resin magnet 11 with the soft magnetic material, thus achieving a smaller size as well as a higher sound pressure through an increase in the driving force exerted to the diaphragm.
