ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute), Taiwan’s better and one of the world’s arch high-tech analysis and development institutions, acclimatized the 2009 Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation Award in Consumer Electronics Tuesday black in San Francisco for its FleXpeaker, cardboard adjustable apostle technology, besting added than 500 companies including HP, Livescribe and Motorola. This advance will acquiesce chump cyberbanking articles of the approaching to become even lighter and slimmer.
Mr. John M. Leger, the Editor of The Wall Street Journal, adumbrated that “FleXpeaker is a advocate technology. The Judges accept that this looks like a cogent advance in apostle design. They haven't apparent annihilation like this before. It has abounding abeyant applications although it is too aboriginal to be commercialized. They would be blessed to see a few affairs though.”
“To be accustomed by an alignment as celebrated and well-respected as The Wall Street Journal is a abundant honor,” said Yi-Jen Chan, carnality admiral and accepted administrator of the Electronics and Optoelectronics Research Laboratories at ITRI. “I am actual appreciative of our aggregation who developed this groundbreaking technology and am admiring they becoming such recognition.”
With abutment from the technology activity of Taiwan’s Department of Industrial Technology of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, R&D of the cardboard adjustable speakers commenced in 2006. The team, led by Dr. Chan, devised a way to actualize arrays of tiny, bendable speakers that can be accumulated to aftermath high-fidelity apostle systems of about any admeasurement application accepted printing, authoritative it the world’s thinnest, lightest and a lot of adjustable speaker. This technology will bigger abate the amount of speakers and is an effective, adjustable solution, for active and wireless articles alike, with all-encompassing and astronomic abeyant above a advanced ambit of industries.
Because FleXpeaker is adjustable in size, failing and consumes little power, this confusing technology can be acclimated in car audio systems, flat-screen televisions, thin-sheet MP3 avant-garde applications, bartering (such as on billboards and in arcade malls) and accessible advertisement systems in locations such as alternation stations. Additionally, it can be chip into and continued to energy-saving buildings, electric vehicles, and ball and medical applications. Through appropriate affiliation technology, FleXpeaker can aswell be congenital into wearable accouterment and chump packaging, and can be cut with scissors into any shape.
