Abstract
Abstract An electrostatic type electroacoustic transducer includes a stationary electrode having a rear electrode, a pair of electret films formed one at each side of the rear electrode, and a plurality of through holes. A pair of movable electrodes are each disposed, through a respective spacer, on the electret film bearing stationary electrode in a manner to confront the electret film. Acoustic signal voltage is supplied between the movable electrodes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
An electroacoustic transducer comprising a stationary electrode plate including a plate-like rear electrode; a pair of electret films superposed one on each side of the rear electrode and having a plurality of through holes; a pair of electrode diaphragms disposed one at each side of the stationary electrode, spaced at a predetermined interval from each of those surfaces of the stationary electrode plate which confront the electrode diaphragms, respectively, and acoustically coupled to each other through the through holes of the stationary electrode; the electrets being charged to opposite polarities with respect to each other and an output signal of a signal source being supplied between each of the diaphragms and the rear electrode with one end of the signal source being electrically connected in common with the pair of electrode diaphragms and the other end connected with the stationary electrode plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
An electroacoustic transducer according to claim 1 wherein a distortion correcting plate is further disposed at a predetermined interval at least at a side on which one of the diaphragms is disposed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
An electroacoustic transducer according to claim 2 wherein the distortion correcting plate has an electret film opposed to the diaphragm.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
An electroacoustic transducer according to claim 4 wherein a pair of spacers are interposed, in air-tight fashion, one between each of the diaphragms and each surface of the stationary electrode plate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
An electroacoustic transducer according to claim 5 wherein the spacers are made of copper foil.
