Fujifilm developing flat film-like speakers[views:2624][posts:4]________________________________ [Feb 6,2013 11:27am - xmikex ""] Not sure of the practical implications yet but Fujifilm has developed an electro-acoustical film. It's a speaker. It's completely flat and thin. You can roll it up. It's supposedly 2-3x less lossy than a speaker with a paper diaphragm. And the same technology can be used to make flat microphonic pickups. http://gizmodo.com/5982048/youll-soon-be-a...p-your-home-stereo-like-a-newspaper Kind of cool. Very Japanese in that it looks cool at a trade show but is more or less pointless for now. |
