Electrostatic loudspeaker. It is a fairly old technique. Yet not play very low frequencies and as well he has a pretty low life time.
This type of speaker is thin itself, but transformers that you need to raise the voltage can not be thin. There are very heavy.
An example:

This type of speaker seems to be from a story:
It is under 1mm thickness and can be shaped in various forms.

They give us assurances that there is this prototype and it works

Another option may be piezoelectric speaker.

Another option, it would be a very flat type of electrodynamic speaker, but very expensive.

I want to find a simple and cheap solution, to buy or build such a thin speaker.
 
Your pic is an electrostaitc speaker combined with a conventional sub-woofer.

Conventional amplifiers operate into 8 ohms, so the "voltage out" is pretty much set my the load. You don;t need that much current to drive the electrostatics, so you can build your own amp with a smaller current power supply. Search for the "Leach amp". It's very nice. I made one in the early 80's.
