The number of damper bridges used in the damper of the present invention described above may be correlated with the length of the plate type speaker, and it will not make a problem if one or more damper bridges are used. However, since the damping force may be excessively lowered if less than three damper bridges are used and damping capability may be lowered if five ore more damper bridges are used, it is preferable to maximize the damping force by installing three to five damper bridges as shown in the first to third embodiments of the present invention.
While the present invention has been described with reference to the particular illustrative embodiments, it is not to be restricted by the embodiments but only by the appended claims. It is to be appreciated that those skilled in the art can change or modify the embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
