Transducers (also called NXT) is well known for its flat-panel hi-fi speaker.

technology. A chessboard-style matrix of small panels is hung on a frame. Each
panel is made of piezoelectric foil which pulses to produce sound waves when it
receives a radio or infrared signal sent from a transmitter across the room.
