Abstract

An audio playback device is provided. The audio playback device includes a magnetic module, an annular armature, a coil module and a diaphragm. The magnetic module includes a magnetic source and two yokes each connected to one of two magnetic poles generated by the magnetic source and extends to form a magnetic field. The annular armature includes a first, a second, a third and a fourth arms that form a hollow area. At least part of the first arm is located in the magnetic area. The coil module is winded on the second arm and generates two varying electro-magnetic poles according to an alternating current data signal. The annular armature vibrates according to a relation of the two varying electro-magnetic poles and the magnetic field. The diaphragm is connected to the annular armature through a driving rod to vibrate according to the annular armature to generate a sound wave.
