Abstract:
An interior component of a vehicle comprises a carrier having a front face directed toward a passenger compartment of the vehicle and an opposite rear face; a speaker including an at least partially transparent diaphragm and a transducer coupled to the diaphragm, wherein movement of the transducer causes vibration of the diaphragm to generate sound by vibration of the diaphragm, the diaphragm having a front face directed towards the passenger compartment and an opposite rear face; wherein the carrier provides a support along at least part of the periphery of the diaphragm where the diaphragm is attached to the carrier wherein the front face and the rear face of the diaphragm is free off the carrier across a part of the diaphragm surface so that the diaphragm is suspended in the carrier of the interior component.
