Patent number: 10805732Abstract: There is provided a diaphragm or a dust cap configured to emit a sound wave and an electrodynamic speaker unit including the diaphragm or the dust cap. The speaker unit is configured so that a great peak dip of sound pressure frequency characteristics due to influence of a divided vibration mode can be prevented and excellent reproduced sound quality can be provided. In the diaphragm or the dust cap, a recessed-raised portion imitating a wing of an insect is formed at least on one surface of a diaphragm portion configured to emit a sound wave. Preferably, the recessed-raised portion is formed based on data obtained by measurement of an actual shape of a wing vein of the insect or data of a Voronoi diagram imitating the wing vein of the insect.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2019Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Onkyo CorporationInventors: Takeru Inoue, Hajime Yoshimura, Hiroyasu Kumo, Sadatoshi Hisamoto
