    Abstract: An actuator array for generating sound, the actuator array comprising at least one actuator device, the at least one actuator device including:
    (a) a first latching electrode (4010) and, optionally, a second latching electrode (4050);
    (b) a flexure (4030) interposed between the first and second electrodes (4010, 4050), the flexure (4030) comprising one or more flexible elements peripheral to and integrally formed with a central portion, the central portion being configured to travel back and forth along a respective axis towards the first and second electrodes (4010, 4050) in response to an electrostatic force generable by applying a voltage between the first and second electrodes (4010, 4050) and the flexure (4030);
    wherein the first and second electrodes (4010, 4050) comprise partial annular openings facing the peripheral flexible elements of the flexure (4030).
