There may be apertures on an opposed side of the host device housing to achieve a dipole pattern which is directed and gives acoustic privacy to the user, or a rear acoustic cavity for a monopole pattern which more broadly disperses the sound. One illustrated embodiment is selectable between monopole and dipole. Size and total area of the holes determines acoustic resistance and so a method is described to determine those from physical parameters of the display panel. | 02-19-2015 |
20150086063 | SPEAKER AND DISPLAY HAVING SAME - A speaker includes a hollow glass substrate and a plurality of vibration exciters. The glass substrate defines a hermetical receiving cavity. The vibration exciters are received in the receiving cavity, and are attached to the glass substrate to drive the glass substrate to vibrate, thus generating sound waves. The disclosure further relates a display having the speaker. | 03-26-2015 |
20150131843 | Support Base and Charger of Hand-Held Electronic Apparatus - A support base of a hand-held electronic apparatus configured for placing a hand-held electronic apparatus having a speaker is provided. The support base comprises an accommodating body which is formed with a hollow casing, and the shape of the accommodating body corresponds to a portion of the hand-held electronic apparatus such that the hand-held electronic apparatus can be placed therein. The characteristics of the present invention are as follows: The accommodating body comprises a first sound broadcasting hole and a second sound broadcasting hole, and when the hand-held electronic apparatus is placed in the accommodating body, the speaker of the hand-held electronic apparatus corresponds to the first sound broadcasting hole such that the speaker of the hand-held electronic apparatus can broadcast sound through the second sound broadcasting hole. | 05-14-2015 |
20150373440 | DOCKING SYSTEM FOR PRESENTATION OF VIDEO ON A FLAT MOBILE COMPUTER - Presentation of video on a flat mobile computing device is enhanced by a support which orients the computing device at an angle of inclination suitable for viewing of video. An acoustic device generates enhanced audio output to accompany the video in response to input from the computing device. The acoustic device and support may be included in a single device. The support may be implemented in an accessory such as a protective cover for the acoustic device. | 12-24-2015 |

20220141561 | SPEAKER - A speaker adapted to be disposed on a head-mounted device includes a housing member, a speaker unit, a vibrating unit and an abutting member. The housing member is adapted to be disposed on the head-mounted device and is formed with an opening adapted to open toward an ear of a user when in use. The speaker unit is disposed on the housing member in a manner that the speaker unit is not directly in contact with the head of the user when in use. The vibrating unit is disposed on the housing member and is capable of generating vibrations. The abutting member is disposed on the vibrating unit, is adapted to be in contact with the skin of the user, and is capable of transmitting the vibrations to the skull of the user. | 05-05-2022 |
