FFL(Flat Flexible Loudspeakers)

Aluminium foil ?? Naah !! Engineers at Warwick University have developed paper thin speakers . They claim that the speakers not only look good but also deliver clearer and crisper sound . They will be replacing railway and airport's public addressing systems which have bulky speakers. They will also be used in banners and posters for audio advertising. Imagine them at cinema posters.
They are developed using tin foil and baking paper.

"We believe this is a truly innovative technology. Its size and flexibility means it can be used in all sorts of areas where space is at a premium. The sound produced by FFLs can be directed straight at its intended audience. The sound, volume and quality does not deteriorate as it does in conventional speakers which means that public announcements in passenger terminals could be clearer, crisper and easier to hear." says Steve Couchman, the chief executive of Warwick Audio Technology.
My question to him is " Where is the sound coming from?? Our sound filter at the speaker is thicker than this !!"
Seems like people are goin to have a hard time handling the WIRE instead of the speakers.
Man !! wat next ?? Invisible Speakers ??
(you'll never know)
