An apparatus is described, the apparatus including a case, a display assembly, a chassis connected to the display assembly, a suspension component between the display assembly and the case, wherein the suspension component is configured to allow the display assembly to move relative to the case, at least one vibrating element configured to actuate the chassis to move the display assembly relative to the case to generate at least one of acoustic waves or haptic/tactile effect, and an internal cavity below the display, wherein electronic components of the apparatus are located at the internal cavity.

Speaker apparatus

An apparatus includes a first portion configured to carry one or more components of the apparatus and at least one wall extending between two or more sides of the first portion; an actuator located in the first portion adjacent to the at least one wall; and a movable section on the first portion and configured to be actuated by the actuator. At least the first portion and the movable section define a speaker.

Audio device with a stiffening structure

An apparatus comprising a suspension unit comprising: a first part coupled to a display assembly; a second part coupled to an apparatus body; and a suspension part coupled at one end to the first part and at another end to the second part, configured to suspend the first part relative to the second part by the bending force of the suspension part, such that the display assembly is movable relative to the apparatus body.

Display apparatus

A speaker including a case, a display configured to display an image, at least one vibrating element configured to actuate the display to move the display relative to the case to generate acoustic waves, a gasket interfacing the case and the display, and a transceiver located within a speaker internal volume.

An apparatus comprises a movable section for sound generation; at least one actuator configured to actuate the movable section, the actuator being in communication with electronic circuitry and configured to generate an acoustic signal substantially from the movable section when the at least one actuator is driven by an audio signal; and a back cover coupled to the movable section and configured to limit the generation of sound from the back cover by attenuating vibrations that are caused when the movable section is actuated by the at least one actuator. The movable section and the at least one actuator define a panel speaker.

Vibration damping structure for audio device

A speaker comprising: a case; a display configured to display an image; at least one vibrating element configured to actuate the display to move the display relative to the case to generate acoustic waves; a gasket interfacing the case and the display; and a transceiver located within a speaker internal volume.

An apparatus including a microphone; a speaker including at least one vibrating element and at least one movable section, where the at least one vibrating element is configured to at least partially move the at least one movable section to generate sound waves from the at least one movable section; and at least one vibration dampening member between the microphone and the at least one movable section, where the at least one vibration dampening member is suitably positioned in a path of vibration transmission between the at least one vibrating element and the microphone, where the at least one vibration dampening member is configured to absorb vibrations when the movable section is actuated by the at least one vibrating element.

Apparatus and method for reducing sound coupling

An apparatus including a frame; and a speaker connected to the frame. The speaker includes at least one vibrating element and least one display element. The least one vibrating element is configured to at least partially move the at least one display element generate sound waves from the at least one display element. A connection of the speaker to the frame includes a first section at a first location of the at least one display element and a second section at a second location of the at least one display element. The first section includes a soft suspension of the at least one display element between the at least one display element and the frame. The second section includes a harder suspension of the at least one display element between the at least one display element and the frame than the first section. The at least one vibrating element is located away from the second location of the at least one display element and located proximate the at least one display element at the first location of the at least one display element so as to move the at least one display element substantially using the first section based on the soft suspension of the at least one display element.
