An apparatus including a frame; and a speaker connected to the frame. The speaker includes at least one vibrating element and least one display element. The least one vibrating element is configured to at least partially move the at least one display element generate sound waves from the at least one display element. A connection of the speaker to the frame includes a first section at a first location of the at least one display element and a second section at a second location of the at least one display element. The first section includes a soft suspension of the at least one display element between the at least one display element and the frame. The second section includes a harder suspension of the at least one display element between the at least one display element and the frame than the first section. The at least one vibrating element is located away from the second location of the at least one display element and located proximate the at least one display element at the first location of the at least one display element so as to move the at least one display element substantially using the first section based on the soft suspension of the at least one display element.
An apparatus comprising:
An apparatus comprising:
A method comprising connecting a speaker to a frame by a connection, where the speaker comprises at least one vibrating element and at least one display element, where the at least one vibrating element is configured to at least partially move the at least one display element to generate sound waves from the at least one display element, where the connection has a first section at a first location of the at least one display element and a second section at a second location of the at least one display element, where the first section comprises a soft suspension of the at least one display element between the at least one display element and the frame, where the second section comprises a harder suspension of the at least one display element between the at least one display element and the frame than the first section, and where the at least one vibrating element is spaced from the second location of the at least one display element and located proximate the at least one display element at the first location of the at least one display element so as to move the at least one display element substantially using the first section based on the soft suspension of the at least one display element.
