LG Display Creates Flat Soundbars For Car Interiors 

LG Display has introduced an unusual development called Thin Actuator Sound Solution. The company also calls it “invisible” car speakers.

The main feature of the new speakers lies in the name and is well understood in the photographs. These are very thin solutions that are much easier to place in a car.

The presented technology is called Thin Actuator Sound Solution. The South Korean tech giant is promoting it as a replacement for traditional speaker systems in cars and other vehicles. One of the advantages of the new technology is that heavy components are not used to create an audio system. The sound is generated from the vibrations inside the cabin, making LG’s new system deliver “rich, immersive 3D sound.”

The panel itself measures 150×90mm and is 2.5mm thick. As a result, it can be easily placed in non-standard locations such as the dashboard, headlining, pillars or seat headrests. The company noted that the panel weighs only 40g, which is 30% of the weight of a standard car speaker.

LG plans to commercialize its Thin Actuator Sound Solution for vehicles in the first half of next year.
