  • Patent number: 7590436
    Abstract: A mobile telephone equipped with a first and second housing parts, which can be displaced in relation to one another in such a way that sections of the housing part are exposed as a result of the displacement. One of the exposed sections is configured at least partially as a bending wave loudspeaker including a plate shaped element for emitting sound signals and an actuating element for exciting bending waves in the plate shaped element.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7058430
    Abstract: A mobile communications terminal is provided having a first loudspeaker for emitting sound signals in a normal mode of the communications terminal, a second loudspeaker for emitting sound signals in a hands-free mode of the communications terminal, an antenna and a signal processing device for processing signals which have been received by the antenna and for supplying processed signals to the first loudspeaker and to the second loudspeaker depending on whether the communications terminal is in the normal mode or in the hands-free mode, wherein better high-frequency reproduction in a hands-free mode is achieved in that, in the hands-free mode, the signal processing device is designed to supply processed signals at a frequency of more than 1 kHz to the first loudspeaker and the first loudspeaker is designed to reproduce sound signals at a frequency of more than 1 kHz.

  • Publication number: 20060068858
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a mobile telephone equipped with a first and a second housing part, which can be displaced in relation to one another in such a way that sections of the housing part are exposed by said displacement. Exemplary amendments are characterized in that one of the exposed sections is configured at least partially as a bending wave loudspeaker comprising a plate-shaped element for emitting sound signals and an actuating element for exciting bending waves in the plate-shaped element.
