  • Publication number: 20120207321
    Abstract: A speaker device includes a static part, a driving part and a vibrating body. The vibrating body includes a plurality of diaphragms supported by the static part. A vibration direction converter part is provided between a first diaphragm and a second diaphragm facing each other in a plurality of the diaphragms, and connects the first diaphragm with the second diaphragm such that the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm synchronously move toward and away from each other. A part of the vibration direction converter part disposed in the proximity of the static part is supported by the static part, and a part of the vibration direction converter part disposed in the proximity of the driving part is supported by the driving part.

  • Publication number: 20110176703
    Abstract: A speaker device includes a speaker unit and a cabinet on or in which the speaker unit is mounted. The speaker unit includes a diaphragm, a static part supporting the diaphragm vibratably in a vibration direction, and a driving part provided at the static part to vibrate the diaphragm in response to an audio signal. The driving part includes a magnetic circuit forming a magnetic gap, a voice coil vibrating in a direction different from the vibration direction of the diaphragm upon the inputted audio signal, and a rigid vibration direction converter part configured to convert the vibration direction of the voice coil and transmit the vibration to the diaphragm.

  • Patent number: 7301278
    Abstract: An organic EL element includes a plurality of light-emitting units which exhibit organic EL luminescence and at least two different luminous colors and are connected in series; and a light-emitting surface formed by overlapping partly or wholly light-emitting surfaces of the light-emitting units. The plurality of light-emitting units includes light-emitting units which exhibit one color and are formed in multiple stages. A desired mixed color is obtained from the light-emitting surface by combining the different luminous colors.
