Flexible, shapeable free-form electrostatic speakers

1. A free-form electrostatic speaker, comprising:

a three dimensional object body with at least a portion of the three dimensional object body having a free-form electrode layer disposed thereon, wherein the free-form electrode layer is shaped to substantially match the portion of the three dimensional object body;

a free-form diaphragm positioned proximate to, and being shaped to substantially match, the free-form electrode layer; and

an input element coupled to the free-form electrode layer that is configured to accept input from an external source;

wherein the three dimensional object body is a three dimensional printed object; and

wherein the free-form diaphragm is selected from the group of materials consisting of a three dimensional printed material and a conductive material sprayed onto the three dimensional object body.

2. A free-form electrostatic speaker, comprising:

a three dimensional object body with at least a portion of the three dimensional object body having a free-form electrode layer disposed thereon, wherein the free-form electrode layer is shaped to substantially match the portion of the three dimensional object body;

a free-form diaphragm positioned proximate to, and being shaped to substantially match, the free-form electrode layer; and

an input element coupled to the free-form electrode layer that is configured to accept input from an external source;

wherein the free-form diaphragm is a substantially continuous layer disposed on an outer surface of the three dimensional object body; and

wherein the free-form diaphragm is a conductive material sprayed onto the three dimensional object body.

3. The free-form electrostatic speaker of claim 2 , further comprising an insulating layer disposed on an outer surface of the free-form diaphragm.

4. A free-form electrostatic speaker, comprising:

a three dimensional object body having a conductive layer disposed on at least a portion thereof;

a three dimensional printed diaphragm having a conductive layer disposed on at least a portion thereof;

the three dimensional printed diaphragm having an insulating layer disposed on the conductive layer;

a connecting element fixing the three dimensional printed diaphragm with respect to the conductive layer disposed on at least a portion of the three dimensional object body; and

an input element coupled to the conductive layer of the three dimensional object body that accepts input from an external source.

5. The free-form electrostatic speaker of claim 4 , wherein the three dimensional object body comprises a three dimensional printed object.

6. The free-form electrostatic speaker of claim 4 , wherein the conductive layer disposed on at least a portion of the three dimensional object body covers substantially all of the three dimensional object body.

7. The free-form electrostatic speaker of claim 6 , wherein the three dimensional printed diaphragm co-extends with the conductive layer covering substantially all of the three dimensional object body to cover substantially all of the three dimensional object body.

8. The free-form electrostatic speaker of claim 4 , wherein the conductive layer disposed on at least a portion of the three dimensional object body is sprayed thereon.

9. The free-form electrostatic speaker of claim 8 , wherein the conductive layer disposed on the three dimensional printed diaphragm is sprayed thereon.

10. The free-form electrostatic speaker of claim 9 , wherein the insulating layer disposed on the three dimensional printed diaphragm is sprayed thereon.

11. The free-form electrostatic speaker of claim 4 , wherein the input from an external source is selected from the group of inputs consisting of input producing ultra sonic speaker output and input producing audible speaker output.
