Rockin’ Patent Application – Amina Technologies’ “Combined Loudspeaker and Display Panel”

  • Rockin’ Patent Application: GB Patent Application No. 0101400.0
  • Priority Date: 20 January 2000
  • In the name of: Amina Technologies
  • Title: Combined Loudspeaker and Display Panel
  • What’s claimed: “Display apparatus comprising: a flat panel loudspeaker comprising an acoustic radiator and a transducer positioned to excite bending waves in the acoustic radiator in order to radiate sound; and a visual display board for displaying graphic information, (e.g. text or a picture); wherein the visual display board is, in use, positioned in front of the acoustic radiator, thereby shielding it from view when the visual display board is being viewed.”
  • Why this patent rocks:This rockin’ patent application relates to a loudspeaker concealed behind a visual display board.  The visual display board is acoustically coupled to the loudspeaker, allowing the loudspeaker to induce flexural vibrations in the display board, causing the display board to radiate sound. This patent application appears to relate to Amina’s “Invisible Speakers” – see here.
