Synaptics Resonate™ Revolutionizes Audio and Haptics For Embedded Displays
March 14 2023 - 4:01AM
Synaptics® Incorporated (Nasdaq: SYNA) today announced Synaptics
Resonate™, a game-changing solution that uses a display’s surface
as a sound and haptics transducer to provide a more immersive audio
and interactive user experience while reducing space, cost, and
power consumption for Internet of things (IoT) devices. The
innovative technology enables slim, bezel-less, and inherently
dustproof and waterproof designs. This allows developers to bring
the benefits of Synaptics Resonate™ to industrial, automotive, and
consumer electronics applications such as TVs, smart appliances,
portable media players, toys and gaming platforms, smartphones,
automotive displays, monitors, and laptops.

“Though display-enabled audio concepts have existed previously,”
said Vineet Ganju, VP and GM of the Audio business unit at
Synaptics, “Synaptics’ break-through innovations enable the ability
to exceed the audio performance of dynamic speakers at a fraction
of the size and power consumption. For the first time, product
manufacturers can reap the benefits of piezo-enabled audio and
haptics.”
Synaptics Resonate™ replaces the dynamic speakers and linear
resonant actuators (LRAs) typically used for audio and haptic
feedback, respectively, with piezoelectric transducers placed on
the rear of the display glass. These are driven by a proprietary
amplifier and algorithms such that the audio emanates directly from
the surface of the glass to provide a line-of-sight, immersive
viewing experience with a high sound pressure level (SPL) and
excellent audio fidelity. The design avoids the compromises of
side-or down-firing speakers, a consequence of modern, thin
industrial design trends.
The same transducers produce the haptic feedback, resulting in
more contextually relevant, dynamic haptic engagement for gaming
and more precise system control applications. As the transducers
are piezoelectric, they can also be used to detect pressure for a
third axis of control for touch interfaces. These combine to
provide a crisper, more responsive and more intuitive interactive
experience for the end user.
Key features and benefits
- Integrated IoT display, audio, and haptics for ease of
implementation in a slim, bezel-less design with reduced system
cost and a smaller footprint
- Up to 80% greater power efficiency compared to micro speaker
designs
- Line-of-sight audio for a more immersive viewing experience,
with excellent loudness and fidelity
- Dynamic haptic capability for contextual feedback in gaming and
other applications
- Pressure sensing for a third axis of control for touch
interfaces
- Eliminates audio ports to enable more elegant and
environmentally protected designs
- Synaptics Resonate can be applied to any surface to turn it
into a smart surface with audio, haptics, and touch pressure
sensing
