The invention, which belongs to the sounding apparatus technology field, relates to a flexible and transparent thermotropic sounding apparatus. The apparatus comprises a sound element and a
signal input device connected with the sound element. The sound element includes a flexible and transparent substrate; and at least one conductive
film structure and a pair of electrodes or multi-pair electrodes are arranged on the substrate, wherein one ends of the pair of electrodes or the multi-pair electrodes are connected at two sides of the conductive
film structure. And an input terminal of the
signal input device is connected with the other ends of the electrodes. Therefore, the conductive
film structure changes density of surrounding mediums to emit sound
waves. According to the invention, there is no mechanical oscillation on the sound element itself and the sound element is transparent and can be bent and stretched. The thermotropic sounding apparatus can generate high
sound pressure output within a frequency range of from 101 kHz to 100 MHz as well as has advantages of high reliability, flexibility, transparency, low cost, and high performance; besides, the apparatus can be integrated with a display screen and simultaneously enables sounding and display functions to be realized. Therefore, the provided apparatus can be widely applied to electronic fields like a
mobile phone, a MP3, a MP4, a television, a computer,
ultrasonic imaging, and a
range finding system and the like.
