At the end of January 2025, Audfly's independently developed Focusound Screen®—the world's first fully transparent directional sound speaker—made its debut at CAR-ELE JAPAN, demonstrating its groundbreaking directional sound technology.
CAR-ELE JAPAN is a leading global trade show dedicated to automotive electronics technology. As one of the seven specialized exhibitions under AUTOMOTIVE WORLD, it brings together innovations in electronic components, materials, software, manufacturing equipment, and testing technologies. The event attracts automotive OEMs and experts from around the world, making it a must-attend annual gathering for professionals in the industry.
As the world's first display-integrated sound solution, the Focusound Screen® combines an ultra-thin transparent composite film with a parametric array algorithm, turning the display itself into a sound-emitting unit. This breakthrough technology enables users to experience immersive 360° surround sound in an open space without the need for headphones, seamlessly integrating audio and visuals. By precisely directing sound to the listener's ears while isolating external noise, it ensures privacy and prevents sound leakage in public spaces.
In an integrated demonstration of in-vehicle applications, the Focusound Screen® was seamlessly incorporated into an intelligent cockpit system. This innovation allows for the creation of independent sound zones for each seat in a vehicle. While the driver receives clear navigation prompts, rear passengers can simultaneously enjoy entertainment audio—each with distinct soundtracks running in parallel without interference. These independent and private sound zones not only enhance driving safety with clear voice communication but also cater to the personalized entertainment needs of all passengers, ushering in a new era of in-car audio experiences.
Notably, after in-depth evaluations, technical teams from leading Japanese companies such as Panasonic and Honda have initiated collaboration discussions with Audfly to explore the applications of directional sound technology in intelligent vehicles and consumer electronics. This debut in Tokyo not only validated the commercial potential of Focusound Screen® technology but also marked a significant evolution—transforming display terminals from purely visual media into fully integrated audio-visual carriers.
As an acoustic technology company with globally patented innovations, Audfly remains committed to advancing the application of Focusound Screen® technology across multiple domains, including intelligent cockpits, smart displays, and mobile terminals. By redefining the acoustic dynamics of human-computer interaction, it will accelerate the emergence of an immersive and personalized audio-visual ecosystem powered by AI integration.
