The sails of the boat in the picture are actually 2.1 channel speakers. I’m not joking. They are the super thin Film speakers that made of piezoelectric coating bonded with PVDF (Poly Vinylidene Fluoride). So, they are as thin as paper, transparent as glass, light as vinyl and can be rolled up as tape.
The film speaker spreads sounds in all direction which is different from traditional speakers that could only spread sounds at the range of at 60 – 120º. You can have custom image printed on it. Instead of placing it on your desk or on your cupboard in the conventional way, you could just hang it on the wall like poster or painting. These film speakers are now being promoted by FILS in the Korea market, but without any information on pricing yet. If you’re interested to bring it into your country, perhaps, you could source it from Alibaba.
