Tha main difference between a large scale planar and an array is whether the radiating element is a single piece or a collection of smaller elements. The advantage to a planar here is that in general it will have more radiating area for a given speaker size, while the array of smaller elements potentially will have a higher total motor strength. When it comes to imaging properly designed arrays are at least as good as, if not better than, other topologies.
