What did Audio Pixels announce?

According to its release, Audio Pixels advised that it has commenced technological demonstrations of its advanced MEMS-based transducers.

Audio Pixels stated that in-person demonstrations have taken place out of the clean room with expert representatives from world leading consumer electronic companies. These industry players have maintained relevant staffing in Israel and have expressed interest in the technology.

Furthermore, due to the unpredictable nature of COVID-19, the company has prioritised the development of its demonstration systems for third parties outside of Israel. It aims to have these components securely shipped for independent third-party assessments.

The announcement follows a previous update on 28 July, stating that Audio Pixels underwent extensive testing, optimization and fine-tuning on its demo systems.

Quick take on MEMS and transducers

MEMS refers to micro-electromechanical devices which comprise electronic, mechanical, and wireless communication components.

A transducer is a device that converts power from one form to another for purposes of measurement or control.
