PLANAR SPEAKER SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A planar speaker system comprising:
- a bottom frame having a cavity;
a plurality of magnets disposed in the cavity of the bottom frame, the plurality of magnets arranged to form a substantially circular pattern, the circular pattern coaxially aligned with a central axis of the planar speaker system;
a diaphragm having a plurality of electrically conductive traces formed, the diaphragm being connected to the bottom frame and extending across the cavity of the bottom frame.

Abstract
A planar speaker system may include a bottom frame having a cavity. Within this cavity a plurality of magnets may be arranged to form a substantially circular pattern. A diaphragm that includes a plurality of electrically conductive traces may be connected to the bottom frame and extend across the cavity of the bottom frame. When alternating current flows through the electrically conductive traces, the diaphragm may vibrate in response to the interaction between the current flowing in the electrically conductive traces and the magnetic field, thereby producing sound. The planar speaker system may include a top frame having a cavity, and a second set of magnets may be disposed in the cavity of the top frame.

20. A planar speaker system comprising:
-
a substantially circular bottom frame having a cavity, an outer diameter and an inner diameter, where the cavity of the bottom frame is substantially circular in shape; a plurality of magnets disposed in the cavity of the bottom frame, the plurality of magnets arranged to form a substantially circular pattern; a diaphragm having a plurality of electrically conductive traces formed thereon, the diaphragm being connected to the outer diameter of the bottom frame and extending across the cavity of the bottom frame; where the diaphragm has an inner diameter; a pole piece connected to the inner diameter of the bottom frame and the inner diameter of the diaphragm; and an annular ring connected to the outer diameter of the bottom frame and the outer diameter of the diaphragm, where the annular ring is located between the outer diameter of the bottom frame and the outer diameter of the diaphragm to connect the outer diameter of the bottom frame to the outer diameter of the diaphragm. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
