In the present embodiment, the length in the X-axis direction and the length in the Y-axis direction of the protection member 60 are the same as those of the elastic member 30.
Next, the structure of the electrostatic speaker 10 will be described. In the electrostatic speaker 10, the vibrating body 11 is disposed between the lower surface of the elastic member 30U and the upper surface of the elastic member 30L. The vibrating body 11 is applied to the elastic member 30U and the elastic member 30L with an adhesive having a width of several millimeters inward from the edge in the left-right direction and the edge in the depth direction, and inside the portion where the adhesive is applied. Is not fixed to the elastic member 30U and the elastic member 30L.
The electrode 20U is bonded to the upper surface of the elastic member 30U. The electrode 20L is bonded to the lower surface of the elastic member 30L. The electrode 20U is bonded to the elastic member 30U by applying an adhesive with a width of several millimeters inward from the left and right edges and the depth edge, and the electrode 20L is bonded to the left and right edges and the depth direction.

The protective member 60 is not fixed to the electrode 20 on the inner side of the portion where the adhesive is applied.
Next, an electrical configuration related to the electrostatic speaker 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, the electrostatic speaker 10 is provided with an amplifier unit 130 to which an acoustic signal representing sound is input, a transformer 110, and a drive having a bias power source 120 that applies a DC bias to the vibrating body 11. A circuit 1000 is connected.
The electrode 20U is connected to the terminal T1 on the secondary side of the transformer 110, and the electrode 20L is connected to the other terminal T2 on the secondary side of the transformer 110. In addition, the vibrating body 11 is connected to the bias power source 120 through the resistor R1. The middle point terminal T3 of the transformer 110 is connected to the ground GND, which is the reference potential of the drive circuit 1000, via the resistor R2.
An acoustic signal is input to the amplifier unit 130. The amplifier unit 130 amplifies the input acoustic signal and outputs the amplified acoustic signal. The amplifier unit 130 includes terminals TA1 and TA2 that output acoustic signals. The terminal TA1 is connected to the primary terminal T4 of the transformer 110 via the resistor R3, and the terminal TA2 is connected to the resistor R4. Is connected to the other terminal T5 on the primary side of the transformer.
Next, the operation of the electrostatic speaker 10 will be described. When an AC acoustic signal is input to the amplifier unit 130, the input acoustic signal is amplified and supplied to the primary side of the transformer 110. Then, when the acoustic signal boosted by the transformer 110 is supplied to the electrode 20 and a potential difference is generated between the electrode 20U and the electrode 20L, the vibrating body 11 between the electrode 20U and the electrode 20L has the electrode 20U. An electrostatic force that is attracted to either side of the electrode 20L works.
Specifically, the polarity of the second acoustic signal output from the terminal T2 is opposite to that of the first acoustic signal output from the terminal T1. When a positive acoustic signal is output from the terminal T1 and a negative acoustic signal is output from the terminal T2, a positive voltage is applied to the electrode 20U, and a negative voltage is applied to the electrode 20L. Since a positive voltage is applied to the vibrating body 11 by the bias power source 120, the vibrating body 11 has a repulsive force acting on the electrode 20 </ b> U to which a positive voltage is applied, while a negative voltage is applied. A suction force acts between the electrode 20L and the electrode 20L. The vibrating body 11 is displaced to the electrode 20L side (the direction opposite to the Z-axis direction) according to these forces applied to the vibrating body 11.
When a negative first acoustic signal is output from the terminal T1 and a positive second acoustic signal is output from the terminal T2, a negative voltage is applied to the electrode 20U and a positive voltage is applied to the electrode 20L. Is done. Since a positive voltage is applied to the vibrating body 11 by the bias power source 120, the vibrating body 11 has a repulsive force acting on the electrode 20 </ b> L to which a positive voltage is applied, while a negative voltage is applied. An attractive force acts between the electrode 20U and the electrode 20U. The vibrating body 11 is displaced to the electrode 20U side (Z-axis direction) in accordance with these forces applied to the vibrating body 11.
In this manner, the vibrating body 11 is displaced (bends) in the positive direction of the Z axis and the negative direction of the Z axis in accordance with the acoustic signal, and vibration is generated by sequentially changing the displacement direction and the displacement amount. A sound wave corresponding to the vibration state (frequency, amplitude, phase) is generated from the vibrating body 11. The generated sound wave passes through the elastic member 30 having acoustic transparency, the electrode 20 and the protection member 60 and is emitted as sound to the outside of the electrostatic speaker 10.
Next, the acoustic signal supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10 of each unit will be described. In the present embodiment, the first acoustic signal is supplied to the electrostatic speakers 10A of the units 100-1 to 100-4, and the first acoustic signal is supplied to the electrostatic speakers 10B of the units 100-3 to 100-6. Are supplied with different second acoustic signals. When the first acoustic signal is supplied to the electrostatic speakers 10A of the units 100-1 to 100-4, the electrostatic speakers 10A to which the first acoustic signals are supplied are indicated by arrows A in FIG. A sound corresponding to the first acoustic signal is radiated in the width of the electrostatic speaker 10A in the direction of the perpendicular line dropped on the surface of the electrostatic speaker 10A (the normal direction of the radiation surface of the electrostatic speaker 10A).
Further, when the second acoustic signal is supplied to the electrostatic speakers 10B of the units 100-3 to 100-6, each electrostatic speaker 10B to which the second acoustic signal is supplied is indicated by an arrow B in FIG. As described above, the sound corresponding to the second acoustic signal is radiated in the width of the electrostatic speaker 10B in the direction of the perpendicular line (normal direction of the radiation surface of the electrostatic speaker 10B) lowered to the surface of the electrostatic speaker 10B. The
Since the directivity of the electrostatic speaker 10A is narrow and the attenuation due to the distance is small, the sound radiated from the electrostatic speaker 10A of the units 100-1 to 100-4 is normal to the radiation surface of the electrostatic speaker 10A. The sound is heard in the area A shown in FIG. Further, in the electrostatic speakers 10B of the units 100-3 to 100-6, the sound radiated from the electrostatic speakers 10B advances in the normal direction of the radiation surface of the electrostatic speakers 10B, and the area shown in FIG. Sounds in range B.
Thus, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, a passerby P (a passerby P who is in the area A and does not overlap with the area B) located on the right side of the center in the left-right direction toward the speaker system 1. The sound radiated from the electrostatic speakers 10A of the units 100-1 to 100-4 can be heard. Note that the second acoustic signal is supplied to the electrostatic speakers 10B of the units 100-3 to 100-6, and a sound corresponding to the second acoustic signal is radiated. The passerby P who is in the direction and does not reach the passerby P in the area A does not hear the sound of the second acoustic signal.
Next, when the passerby P moves to the position shown in FIG. 8, the passerby P is located on the left side from the center in the left-right direction toward the speaker system 1 (in the area B and within the area A does not overlap. The passerby P) can hear the sound radiated from the electrostatic speaker 10B of the units 100-3 to 100-6. Note that the sound corresponding to the first acoustic signal is radiated from the electrostatic speakers 10A of the units 100-1 to 100-4, and the radiation direction of this sound is the direction of the arrow A in the area of FIG. Since the passer-by P in the position in B does not reach, the passer-by P does not hear the sound of the first acoustic signal.
As described above, when the speaker system 1 according to the present embodiment is used, when the passerby P in front of the speaker system 1 passes along the arrangement direction of the units 100-1 to 106, it is halfway (when it is in the area A). ) Can hear only the sound radiated in the direction of arrow A (first direction), and only the sound radiated in the direction of arrow B (second direction) can be heard from the middle (when in area B). That is, since there are a plurality of sound emission directions and the sound contents are different for each emission direction, a plurality of sounds can be heard before the passerby P passes the front of the speaker system 1. For example, if the speaker system 1 is arranged in a passage of a station, the sound of an advertisement for an electric appliance is radiated in the direction of arrow A, and the sound of an advertisement for an electric store is radiated in the direction of arrow B, the electric appliance is interested. It is also possible to guide the passerby P to the electronic store where the electric product is sold.

In addition, when an image is formed on the protective member 60 in this way, an image such as a picture, a sentence, or a photograph related to the sound emitted by the electrostatic speaker 10 may be formed. For example, in the case of radiating the sound of the advertisement of the electric product in the direction of the arrow A and the sound of the advertisement of the electric store in the direction of the arrow B, a photograph of the electric product related to the advertisement is printed on the surface of the electrostatic speaker 10A. An explanation of how to go from the passage to the electronic store may be printed on the surface of the electrostatic speaker 10B. According to this configuration, since the advertisement can be performed on the printed matter in addition to the voice, the attention of the passerby P can be more attracted to the advertisement.
In the embodiment described above, the unit 100 is fixed to the wall W. However, instead of being fixed to the wall W, the unit 100 is suspended from the ceiling with a wire or the like so as to have the arrangement shown in FIGS. May be.

Moreover, when printing on the protection member 60, the same picture may be printed on each surface of the electrostatic speaker 10A of the units 100-1 to 100-4 that emit sound in the direction of the arrow A. As shown in FIG. 9, when the pictures printed on the surfaces of the electrostatic speakers 10 </ b> A of the units 100-1 to 100-4 are viewed from the extension line of the arrow A, a single picture may be obtained. .
In the above-described embodiment, the content of the sound radiated from the speaker system 1 and the content printed on the protection member 60 are advertisements, but are not limited to advertisements. For example, the speaker system 1 is installed. It may be other content such as guidance on the facility being used.
In the embodiment described above, the unit 100 is in the shape of a tube whose cross-sectional shape is a right isosceles triangle as viewed from the vertical direction, but the first component 101 and the second component 102 that include the electrostatic speaker 10. May be combined at right angles so that the third component 103 is not provided. FIG. 10 is a top view of the unit 100 according to this modification. If the unit 100 is fixed to the wall W of the passage so that the joining portion of the first part 101 and the second part 102 protrudes toward the passage side, the sound radiated in the direction of arrow A and the arrow B as in the embodiment described above. The sound radiated in the direction can be made different.
When the unit 100 includes the first component 101 and the second component 102 as described above, the first component 101 and the second component 102 are integrated with a hinge, and the first component 101 and the second component 102 are integrated.

For example, when viewed from the passerby P, the width of the first component 101 and the width of the second component 102 in the lateral direction may not be the same. FIG. 12 is a view showing a cross section when the unit 100 according to an example of this modification is cut in parallel to a horizontal plane.

In the above-described embodiments and modifications, the unit 100 is configured by joining a plurality of plate-like components, and the speaker system 1 is configured by arranging the plurality of units 100. The configuration of the speaker system 1 is as follows. The configuration is not limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, a component 107 that is a rectangular plate-like cardboard is provided with alternating fold folds and valley folds, and the electrostatic speaker 10 is disposed between the folds. The speaker system 1 folded at the above may be disposed on the wall W of the passage.
Further, in the case where the component 107 which is a rectangular plate-like cardboard is provided with a mountain fold fold and a valley fold fold, as shown in FIG. 17A, the mountain fold → the mountain fold → the valley fold → A configuration in which folds are repeatedly provided such as mountain fold → mountain fold → valley fold →... According to this configuration, it is possible to arrange the electrostatic speaker 10 on the wall surface W as shown in FIG. 17B, and there are a plurality of sound emission directions, and the sound content for each emission direction.

In addition, the part 107 may be provided with a cut in addition to the crease so that the part 107 has a three-dimensional shape and the electrostatic speaker 10 is disposed on the surface thereof.
As for the mountain fold and the valley fold, the component 107 may be formed with a mountain shape and a valley shape by folding the crease so that the tip of the fold is a curved surface.
In the above-described embodiment, for example, the electrostatic signal supplied to each electrostatic speaker 10A is set to each electrostatic signal so that the wavefronts of the sound radiated from the electrostatic speakers 10A of the units 100-1 to 100-4 are matched. A delay corresponding to the position of the type speaker 10A may be applied. Specifically, the amplifier unit 130 is provided with a delay circuit capable of controlling the delay amount of the acoustic signal. The acoustic signal supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10A of the unit 100-4 is not delayed. For example, when the width of the second component 102 is d, the acoustic signal supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10 of the unit 100-3 has Δt1 = d / c (c is the speed of sound) when the delay time is Δt1. Apply a delay. The acoustic signal supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10 of the unit 100-2 is delayed by Δt2 = 2d / c (where c is the speed of sound) when the delay time is Δt2. When the delay time is Δt3, the acoustic signal supplied to the type speaker 10 is delayed by Δt3 = 3d / c (c is the speed of sound). According to this configuration, the passerby P can hear the sound as if it was emitted from one sound source, and the connection of the sound radiated from each electrostatic speaker 10 is not discontinuous.
Further, the position of each electrostatic speaker 10 is adjusted to the sound supplied to the electrostatic speakers 10A of the units 100-1 to 100-4 so that the sound image moves in front of the passerby P as the passerby P moves. You may make it apply the delay according to.
Specifically, when the width of the second component 102 is d, first, the acoustic signal supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10A of the unit 100-2 is not delayed, and the electrostatic of the unit 100-1 The acoustic signal supplied to the type speaker 10A is delayed by Δt = d / c, where Δt is the delay time. Next, after a certain time has elapsed, the acoustic signal supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10A of the unit 100-3 is not delayed, and the acoustic signal supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10A of the unit 100-2 is Applies a delay of Δt. Further, after a certain period of time has passed, the acoustic signal supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10A of the unit 100-4 is not delayed so that the acoustic signal supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10A of the unit 100-3 Applies a delay of Δt. The speaker system 1 performs the above processing periodically.
In addition, in the structure which moves a sound image, it is good also as a structure which changes a delay time continuously from 0 to (DELTA) t. In this case, as a first step, first, the delay time is set to 0 for the units 100-1 to 100-6. Next, as a second step, the delay time is kept zero for the electrostatic speakers 10A of the units 100-2 and 100-4, and the delay is made relative to the electrostatic speakers 10A of the units 100-1 and 100-3. The time is continuously changed from 0 to Δt. Here, it is preferable that the time required for the change from 0 to Δt is a time required for the passerby P to pass in front of one unit or a time slightly earlier than this time. Thereafter, when the delay time of the first acoustic signal becomes Δt for the electrostatic speakers 10A of the units 100-1 and 100-3, the delay time is again set to 0 for the units 100-1 to 100-6 as the third step. And Next, as a fourth step, the delay time is kept zero for the electrostatic speakers 10A of the units 100-1 and 100-3, and the delay with respect to the electrostatic speakers 10A of the units 100-2 and 100-4 is delayed. The time is continuously changed from 0 to Δt. Again, the time taken for the change from 0 to Δt is preferably the time taken to pass in front of one unit or slightly earlier than this time. By repeating such processing from the first step to the fourth step, the passerby P feels that the sound image is moving as the passerby P moves.
In the embodiment described above, the speaker system 1 is arranged on the wall W of the flat passage, and each unit 100 has the same vertical position with respect to the wall W. The floors may be arranged on the walls of the passages having different heights, and the arrangement positions of the units 100 in the vertical direction may be varied in accordance with the passages having different heights. According to this configuration, even in a passage with different floor heights, such as stairs and escalators, it is possible to let the passerby hear different sounds depending on the position at the beginning of the climb and the position at the end of the climb.
Further, in the unit 100, one electrostatic speaker 10A is disposed on the first component 101 and one electrostatic speaker 10B is disposed on the second component 102. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. Absent. FIG. 18 is a front view of the unit 100 according to this modification. As shown in this figure, in this modification, two electrostatic speakers 10A are arranged vertically in the first component 101, and two electrostatic speakers 10B are arranged vertically in the second component 102. It has a configuration. Here, if the acoustic signal supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10A above the center in the vertical direction of the unit 100 is different from the acoustic signal supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10A below the center in the vertical direction, It is also possible to make the sound radiated to an adult located above the center of the unit 100 different from the sound radiated to a child whose ear is located above the center of the unit 100.
Further, the wall W to which the unit 100 is attached is not limited to a flat wall, and the wall surface may be a curved wall. Moreover, you may arrange | position the unit 100 along the wall surface of a spiral staircase.
In the embodiment described above, the shape of the unit 100 is tubular. However, the shape of the unit 100 is not limited to the tubular shape, and may be, for example, a cone shape. FIG. 19A is a top view of a unit 200 according to a modification, and FIG. 19B is a front view of the unit 200. FIG. Components 201 to 204 are plate-like cardboards having a shape of a right isosceles triangle. The component 205 is a plate-shaped square cardboard and serves as the bottom surface of the unit 200. The electrostatic speakers 10A to 10D are electrostatic speakers having the same configuration as that of the above-described embodiment, and the shape thereof is a triangle. The shapes of the electrostatic speakers 10A to 10D are not limited to triangles, and may be other polygons such as rectangles, pentagons or hexagons, and may be shapes other than polygons such as circles and ellipses. Also good.
Further, the shape of the unit 100 may be the shape of a frustum obtained by removing a cone that shares a vertex and is similarly reduced from the cone.
FIG. 20 is a diagram showing a state in which the units 200 are arranged in a row on the ceiling C. FIG. In FIG. 20, branch numbers are assigned so that each unit can be distinguished. In the arrangement shown in FIG. 20, the first acoustic signal is supplied to the electrostatic speakers 10A of the units 200-1 to 200-4, and the first acoustic signal is supplied to the electrostatic speakers 10C of the units 200-3 to 200-6. A second acoustic signal different from the signal is supplied. Then, as shown by an arrow A in FIG. 20, a sound corresponding to the first acoustic signal is radiated in the direction of a perpendicular line dropped on the surface of the electrostatic speaker 10A. Accordingly, for example, a passerby P located on the right side of the center of the speaker system 1 in FIG. 20 can hear the sound radiated from the electrostatic speaker 10A of the units 200-1 to 200-4 from above. Note that the second acoustic signal is supplied to the electrostatic speakers 10C of the units 200-3 to 200-6, and a sound corresponding to the second acoustic signal is radiated. Since the direction does not reach the passer-by P, the passer-by P in the position of FIG. 20 does not hear the sound of the second acoustic signal. Thereafter, when the passerby P moves to the left, the passerby P can hear the sound emitted from the electrostatic speaker 10C of the units 200-3 to 200-6 from above.
In the configuration of FIG. 20, the third acoustic signal may be further supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10B of each unit, and the fourth acoustic signal may be supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10D of each unit. . Thereby, when the passerby P is located in the direction in which the electrostatic speaker 10B faces, the sound radiated from the electrostatic speaker 10B of the units 200-1 to 200-6 is heard from above, and the passerby P Is located in the direction in which the electrostatic speaker 10D faces, the sound radiated from the electrostatic speakers 10D of the units 200-1 to 200-6 can be heard, and the sound can be heard from four diagonally upward directions. As a result, a plurality of different sounds can be emitted in more directions. Unit 200 may be arranged on ceiling C in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns.
In the embodiment described above, the speaker included in the unit 100 or the unit 200 is an electrostatic speaker. However, the speaker according to the present invention is not limited to an electrostatic speaker, and may be a speaker that emits plane waves. For example, another type of speaker may be used.
In the embodiment described above, the first acoustic signal is also supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10A of the unit 100-5, and the second acoustic signal is also supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10B of the unit 100-2. Good. According to this configuration, area A and area B are expanded as compared with FIG. 7, and the area where area A and area B overlap is widened. Here, when the passer-by P walks from the unit 100-1 to the unit 100-6 at a position close to the speaker system 1, the passer-by P first hears only the sound of the first acoustic signal in the area A, and then In the area where area A and area B overlap, the sound of the first acoustic signal and the sound of the second acoustic signal are heard, and then only the sound of the second acoustic signal is heard in area B. When the passerby P walks from the unit 100-1 to the unit 100-6 at a position away from the speaker system 1, the passerby P does not enter the area where the area A and the area B overlap. For this reason, the passerby P first hears only the sound of the first acoustic signal in the area A. Next, at the position outside area A and area B, the sound of both the first sound signal and the second sound signal cannot be heard, and when entering area B, only the sound of the second sound signal is heard. Become.
In the embodiment described above, the first acoustic signal may be supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10A of each unit, and the second acoustic signal may be supplied to the electrostatic speaker 10B of each unit. In this configuration, the volume of the electrostatic speaker 10A is decreased as it goes from the unit 100-1 to the unit 100-6, and the volume of the electrostatic speaker 10B is the unit 100-6. The volume may decrease as it goes from unit to unit 100-1.
