Described are micro electrostatic transducers and methods of making such devices. The micro electrostatic transducer is an integrated component transducing device fabricated from materials allowing for low cost, high volume manufacturing. The device includes a sheet of graphene forming the diaphragm with two electrode layers above and below the diaphragm to introduce the audio signal.

A glass sheet composite includes a first glass sheet, a second sheet disposed opposite the first glass sheet, and a liquid layer formed by sealing up a liquid between the first glass sheet and the second sheet, in which the glass sheet composite has a plurality of vibration areas that are independent of each other in a plan view. The glass sheet composite is a diaphragm including at least one vibrator disposed on one side or both sides of the glass sheet composite. The glass sheet composite enables independent vibration at each of the vibration areas, and enables not only stereophonic or multiphonic reproduction but also local reproduction to be performed along with images. Since the diaphragm includes a vibrator, this diaphragm is excellent in sound reproduction.
