  • Publication number: 20130177182
    Abstract: A vibration speaker includes a top cover, a bottom cover, at least one transducer plate and at least one conductive connector. The top cover and the bottom cover define a space to accommodate the transducer plate and the conductive connector. Each transducer plate includes a conductive plate, a first smart material layer coated on a first surface of the conductive plate, and a first electrode layer formed on the first smart material layer. The conductive connector presses on the transducer plate, wherein an insulating layer is coated on an area between the first surface and the conductive connector but excluding the first electrode layer, such that the conductive connector electrically contacts the first electrode layer but is insulated from the conductive plate.

  • Publication number: 20130100046
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a haptic feedback module, which includes a vibration plate, and at least one first actuator that is disposed along a lateral surface of the circumference of the vibration plate. The vibration plate contacts with a top plate member. When the first actuator presses the vibration plate, the vibration energy of the vibration plate is transferred to the top plate member to result in haptic feedback.

  • Publication number: 20130099907
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of generating three dimensional (3D) haptic feedback and an associated handheld electronic device. A first, a second and a third directional actuator groups are disposed on an inner surface of a housing. The vibration inertial forces generated by the first, the second, and the third directional actuator groups are parallel with the first, the second and the third axial directions respectively. The first, the second, and the third directional actuator groups are individually or in combination driven, thereby generating haptic feedback.

  • Publication number: 20130069483
    Abstract: Transducers and transducer modules having the transducers are disclosed. An embodiment discloses a transducer that includes a conductive layer having a U-shaped slit toward its swing end. The slit is configured to enhance a haptic feedback or an acoustic propagation, or adjust a resonant mode.
