<1.第1の実施形態>
<2.第2の実施形態>
<3.応用例>
<4.変形例>
以下に説明する実施形態等は本開示の好適な具体例であり、本開示の内容がこれらの実施形態等に限定されるものではない。なお、下記の説明において、説明の便宜を考慮して前後左右等の方向を規定する表現を使用するが、本開示の内容がこれらの方向に限定されるものではない。また、図面における各構成の長さ、厚み等は、説明の便宜を考慮して、適宜、拡大または縮小している。
「映像表示装置の構成の一例」
第1の実施形態は、本開示の音声出力装置を映像表示装置に適用した例である。映像表示装置は、例えば、テレビジョン放送に基づく映像を表示する装置である。映像表示装置は、床、棚、台などの水平面に載置される据置型のほか、壁などに掛ける壁掛型として使用することができる。
図8を参照して、アクチュエータ123の構成の一例について説明する。アクチュエータ121等の他のアクチュエータの構成は、アクチュエータ123の構成と同一とされる。アクチュエータ123は、例えば、積層型のピエゾアクチュエータとして構成される。
図9を参照して、アクチュエータ123の取り付けの一例について説明する。なお、アクチュエータ121等の他のアクチュエータの取り付け方法は、アクチュエータ123の取り付け方法と略同様とされる。
図10を参照して、映像表示装置1による音声信号の再生の一例について、説明する。なお、図10では、説明の便宜上、アクチュエータ123等を実線により示しているが、これらの構成は表示パネル100の背面側に位置されるため、実際は見えないものである。
本開示では、一例として、加振位置を突部の端面としている。すなわち、突部の端面に対してアクチュエータを当接させ、当該突部の端面にアクチュエータによる振動を与えるようにしている。
次に、第2の実施形態について説明する。なお、第2の実施形態において第1の実施形態と同一の構成については、同一の符号を付し、重複した説明を省略する。
図14は、第2の実施形態における映像表示装置2を、背面側から見た構成の一例を示す図である。ベゼルの形状の一部およびアクチュエータが取り付けられる位置を除いては、映像表示装置2の構成は、映像表示装置1の構成と略同様である。
第2の実施形態では、アクチュエータ122およびアクチュエータ124により、ベゼル201に対して、下方から上方に向かう振動を提供する。ここで、アクチュエータにより振動板を加振する場合には、加振位置(加振点)近傍からは即座に音声が放音されるのに対して、加振位置からもっとも離れた箇所では、加振位置からの振動が伝達されるまでに若干の時間を要する。このため、振動板全体から放射される音波面は、振動板材料の音速(固体中(振動板中)を伝搬する縦波の速度)に依存した角度を持った波面となる。
なお、本開示における音声出力装置は、種々の装置に対して応用が可能である。応用例について説明する。なお、本開示の内容が、下記に説明する応用例に限定されるものではない。
応用例1は、音声出力装置を照明装置に適用した例である。図19は、照明装置の外観の一例を示す図である。照明装置300は、いわゆる電球と同様の外観形状を有し、既存の電灯設備における電球用ソケットに対して、機械的に螺合し電気的に接続可能な形状の口金部301と、この口金部301の基端側に設けられた基体部302と、この基体部302と一体的に設けられた略球状の筐体部303とを備える。また、照明装置300は、筐体部303の一部に形成されたメッシュ状の音声出力口304を備える。
応用例2は、本開示における音声出力装置を携帯端末に適用した例である。携帯端末は、スマートフォン、携帯電話、タブレット型コンピュータ等である。図21は、応用例2における携帯端末400の外観の一例を示す図である。携帯端末400は、例えば、光提供部の一例である表示パネル401と、表示パネル401の周囲に取り付けられる筐体部402と、筐体部402に配設される操作入力部403とを含む構成とされる。表示パネル401は、例えば、タッチパネルとして構成され、映像の表示のほか表示パネル401を使用した各種の操作入力が可能とされている。
応用例3は、本開示における音声出力装置を据置型のパーソナルコンピュータに適用した例である。図22は、応用例3におけるパーソナルコンピュータ500の外観の一例を示す。パーソナルコンピュータ500は、表示パネル501と、表示パネル501の周囲に取り付けられる額縁状の枠体部502と、キーボードや記録媒体のドライブ等を有するベース503を有する。枠体部502は、例えば、光透過性部材からなる。
以上、本開示の実施形態について具体的に説明したが、本開示は、上述の実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本開示の技術的思想に基づく各種の変形が可能である。
