See-Through, Paper-Thin Speakers

Cormac writes "Here's an interesting article about scienists in the Korean Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) who are developing see-through flat speakers which (they claim) could be rolled/folded up and put in your pocket or even be pinned to a wall." I wonder about the fidelity, but there could be some excellent potential here: it irritates me that my center channel is on my TV. Without getting a projector and putting the speaker behind a screen, something like this could just be built onto your TV. But can it sound good?

you mean you can make clothes that act as a loudspeaker
riding the subway is hard enough already!!

that said, think of the applications for screwing with people if you could make your sweater talk... or a window... or a mirror.... oh my.

sorry, need to go make devilish plans...
