While speakers have been getting thinner and thinner, the geniuses behind Warwick Audio have developed a speaker so thin, you may accidentally wrap your leftover Italian with it.
“FFL technology is a carefully designed assembly of thin, conducting and insulating, materials resulting in the development of a flexible laminate, which when excited by an electrical signal will vibrate and produce sound,” states PhysOrg. “The speaker laminate operates as a perfect piston resonator. The entire diaphragm therefore radiates in phase, forming an area source. The wave front emitted by the vibrating surface is phase coherent, producing a plane wave with very high directivity and very accurate sound imaging.”
This probably means that the speaker won’t work like some newer speakers (by producing electrical charges that excite nearby air molecules, making sound without any vibrations), but instead will work like traditional speakers (but in much tighter wavelengths).
No word yet on just how long we’ll have to wait to see this tech implemented, but according to the site it’s meant to be used in conference rooms and cars.
