  • Patent number: 11924596
    Abstract: A system and method for providing visual and acoustical signals that includes a light emitting display having light sources and a display surface, and perforations extending perpendicularly to the display surface and disposed between the light sources, at least one loudspeaker positioned behind the light emitting display. The perforations have a non-cylindrical shape. The openings on the side of the light sources occupies at least 5% of the area of the light emitting display for sound passing through.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220058995
    Abstract: A system and method for providing an acoustically transparent imaging display include a substrate with light sources on one side and perforations having a first visible optical reflectance, the perforations extending perpendicularly to the display surface and being disposed between the light sources. The side of the substrate opposing the light sources faces a black surface of an enclosure. A layer having a second visible optical reflectance is disposed on the substrate on the side of the light sources. The layer has an acoustical transparency attenuation of at most ?10 dB, and when in normal light conditions the difference between the visible optical reflectance of the layer and that of the perforations is lower than the difference between visible optical reflectance of the substrate and that of the perforation.
