The disclosure discribed herein relates to acoustic devices, and more particularly to a compound membrane used in such an acoustic device capable of providing sound.
Nowadays, speakers and/or microphones often comprise compound membranes which are basically a combination of layers of different materials or just a mixture of different materials.
Generally, a membrane is formed by a single film or by hot pressing a piece of thermoplastic material, the rigidity of the membrane is not enough when vibrating. In addition, to increase the rigidity of the membrane, the usual method is to increase the thickness of the membrane. However, a membrane is formed by a single film, whose thickness of different portion are the same, as a result, the sound quality of the acoustic device is undesirable when the membrane vibrates.
The present disclosure is provided to solve the problems mentioned above.
Reference will now be made to describe exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure in detail.
Referring to
In an alternative embodiment, the TPU elastomer may overlap the PET film at a portion corresponding to the periphery portion. Another word, the central portion of the membrane is formed by the PET film and the peripheral portion of the membrane is formed by the compound of the PET film and the TPU elastomer.
Compared with the related membrane, the compound membrane of the present disclosure has a higher ragidity and a better stability due to the compound of the TPU elastomer attached on the surface of the PET film.
While the present disclosure has been described with reference to the specific embodiments, the description of the disclosure is illustrative and is not to be construed as limiting the disclosure. Various of modifications to the present disclosure can be made to the exemplary embodiments by those skilled in the art without departing from the true spirit and scope of the disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
