LG Display has developed a new speaker technology for cars. This product, which may not sound very impressive or exciting when we first hear it, manages to fascinate everyone with its technologies. Because these vibrating LG Display panels turn car dashboards and headrests into speakers. Moreover, the speaker takes up almost as much space as a passport.

LG Display is known for developing and providing display panel technologies to various companies, including LG. The speaker introduced by the company challenges conventional car audio systems. Its new speaker doesn’t use a cone, magnet, or voice coil and doesn’t require a speaker grille.

Instead, the speaker relies on what the company described as a “film-type exciter technology,” which vibrates off display panels “and various materials inside the car body” to create “3D” sound. This way, LG speakers can turn any part of your car into a speaker. LG Display claims sound quality is as good as traditional car speakers.

It was developed with an unnamed “global audio company” and is expected to be ready for car interiors in 2023. The biggest advantage of LG vibrating speakers is their size. You can get much louder and better sound quality in your car as this product does not contain space-consuming parts such as magnets.

The speaker measures 5.9×3.5×0.1 inches (150×90×2.5 mm) and weighs 1.4 ounces (40 g). In its announcement, LG Display said that’s 10 percent as thick as a typical car speaker and 30 percent the weight. LG Display said it would show off its speakers at the CES trade show in Las Vegas in January.

Both LG Display and Sony have used similar panels in OLED TVs, but that while the technology itself is not a completely new innovation, it has yet to reach its full potential.
