A sound outputting apparatus is provided. The sound outputting apparatus includes: a main body; and a loudspeaker accommodated in the main body. The loudspeaker includes: a vibration member configured to generate sound waves; and a sound guide having a first end connected to the vibration member, a second end having an open structure, a first surface between the first end and the second end, and a plurality of openings formed through the first surface along a longitudinal direction of the sound guide. The plurality of openings increase in size as distance from the vibration member increases.

Loudspeaker and sound outputting apparatus having the same

A sound outputting apparatus is provided. The sound outputting apparatus includes at least one loudspeaker, and a main body configured to house the at least one loudspeaker. Each of the at least one loudspeaker includes an acoustic transducer configured to generate a sound wave, and a sound guide part configured to directionally output the sound wave via a plurality of openings. A diameter of each of the plurality of openings is increased as a distance from the acoustic transducer increases.

A loudspeaker device includes a frame having a bottom portion with a curved surface along a first direction and a pair of lateral portions provided at lateral sides of the bottom portion in the first direction; a plurality of magnets curved and extended along the curved surface of the bottom portion, and arranged to be spaced apart from each other; a diaphragm supported by the pair of lateral portions, curved in parallel with the curved surface of the bottom portion, and spaced apart at a predetermined distance from top surfaces of the plurality of magnets; and a coil provided on the diaphragm at positions corresponding to spaces between the plurality of magnets in the first direction, the coil being configured to drive the diaphragm to vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the curved surface of the bottom portion of the frame by a magnetic field formed by the plurality of magnets as an audio signal is electrically applied.
