As Thin And As Flexible As Paper – Taiwan’s fleXpeaker

by Edward Xu on October 10, 2009

In conjunction to Sony’s slimmest OLED display reviewed few days ago, would it be extra cool if there is a slim speaker that could also accompany the ultra slim OLED display? The good news is, you might not have to wait long to get the paper thick flexible speaker.

Let’s take a look at the prototype version of fleXpeakers on following video:

Developed by ITRI – a Taiwan manufacturer, the fleXpeaker technology could make arrays of tiny speakers and join them together to become high-quality speakers in almost any size. This brilliant idea of joining small unit to build a bigger device seems a bit resemble Mitsubishi’s Diamond Vision OLED display technology!

The fleXpeaker is even thinner than those ultra-slim flat LED TV you’ve got hanging on the wall!

This technology will be a perfect supporting device for the  unlimited-size OLED display! Literary you could cover your entire house with the OLED and the fleXpeaker. On the technical specification, the fleXpeaker frequency range is between 500Hz to 20 KHz.

As speaking about the flexibility of usage and application, the technology is designed to allow embedding of speaker elements into almost anything! From everyday consumer electronics devices to massive posters, banner ads or perhaps the Shopping Plaza’s walls with the built-in sound.

Despite the boast of slimmest speaker, we also found another paper thick speaker as featured on hardwaresphere.com.

The question is, when will the home theater goes as flat and as foldable as a piece of paper? :) By that time, the Doraemon’s century will transform into a real story!
