Those are called ATM, acoustic transformers, not ribbons.

Cant figure out where is the one with "stiff" membrane.
Anyway what are the materials used?
Anyway membrane itself wont be as stiff as in normal driver due to not circular shape?
What is suspension? Is it the same material as membrane but pressed so it will bend in place?

Look at Adams ART technology, known as accelerated ribbon technology. Essencialy a ribbon configured as a concertina. Neo magnets between each fold. One advantage is much larger surface area. The diaphragm has etched onto it the conductor. Used in studio monitors.
