Abstract
An electronic device may include a speaker having fabric portions. The fabric-based speaker may have one or more fabric support layers on which other speaker components are disposed. In particular, the fabric-based speaker may include one or more conductive patterns and one or more magnetic structures. The one or more conductive patterns may be coupled to one or more fabric support layers and may receive electric signals that actuate the one or more fabric support layers in the presence of magnetic field created by the one or more magnetic structures to produce sounds waves.
