  • Sound redirecting device for large displays
    Patent number: 9583092
    Abstract: Sound reflectors for an electronic device are provided. In one embodiment, the sound reflector has a sound redirecting surface having two curvatures. The first concave curvature is in one plane and the second curvature is in another plane, and the first and second curvature's planes are in obtuse angle with each other. In other embodiments, the sound reflector has a device attachment surface configured to attach to a back of the display device, which the sound reflector is coupled with, and a sound redirecting surface. The sound redirecting surface has a proximal portion that extends backwards relative to the device attachment surface, and a distal portion that extends forward relative to the attachment surface. The sound redirecting surface is disposed to directly receive sound emanating from the speaker.
