German scientists printed the speakers as thick as paper
German innovation experts have printed ultra-thin speakers. Their thickness does not exceed the thickness of the sheet.
The new development is a device that can be collapsed and expanded. It is flexible and able to adapt to almost any environment. New speakers provide truly surround sound.
The development technology was borrowed from the staff of the Chemnitz Technical University. In 2015, they presented the tech book. Sounds were played when turning the pages. The sheets are created using a semi-automatic process: using a machine for each page and human additions.
These sheets were two rectangular surfaces of a conductive organic polymer that were connected to each other. And between them was a special layer that creates sound under the influence of an electric current.
To create flexible speakers, German experts had to laminate similar sheets with foil. It was coated with synthetic materials.
The designed speakers are 90% of paper covered with drawings. Their total weight is about 150 g. Visually, they even resemble wallpaper hung over the ceiling.
According to the authors of the project, their flexible speakers will soon appear in museums and shopping centers. They are also planned to be used for advertising purposes as an additional sound accent. Such speakers will be conveniently positioned along the walls of long corridors to create additional sound volume.
Recently, OXO reported on the development of American designers. They created an "anti-spy" microphone bracelet.
