Abstract
A sound reflection assembly comprises a rigid structure having a sound reflection section and a support section, a rigid part in the support section, etc. A directional sound generation module is placed on the rigid part. The directional sound generation module is spatially oriented to direct sound waves generated by one or more speaker elements in the directional sound generation module towards the sound reflection section to be reflected by the sound reflection section towards an audience in an audience area in front of the sound reflection assembly. The directional sound generation module may be a sound bar.

A sound reflection assembly, comprising:
- a rigid structure having a sound reflection section and a support section;
- a rigid part in the support section;
- a directional sound generation module placed on the rigid part, wherein the directional sound generation module is spatially oriented to direct sound waves generated by one or more speaker elements in the directional sound generation module towards the sound reflection section to be reflected by the sound reflection section towards an audience in an audience area in front of the sound reflection assembly;
- a display mounted with the support section;
- wherein image rendering light emitted or reflected from the display reaches the audience area in front of the sound reflection assembly without any obstruction;
- wherein the one or more speaker elements in the directional sound generation module represent directional speaker elements specifically configured to direct the sound waves as generated by the one or more speaker elements away from other areas that are different from the sound reflection section.
