3D Shape Display

3D Shape Display

• Research Backgrounds

  • 3D display allows us to feel the actual volume of the object.

• Researchers

  • Yong-Ju Chu (Master., e-mail)

• Research Period

  • 2005. 03. ~ 2006. 07.

• Research Objectives

  • Development new concept display using wire frame drive unit and wire frame.

  • Since this study didn't used pin-arrangment, we intend to use a wire frame instead.

  • The goal of 3D display is to make a device with 5mm resolution.

• Structure of 3D Display

  • This display is composed of SMA, wire frame drive unit, frame, locking device etc.

  • A chain of wire frame drive unit enables presentation of 2 dimensional objects. 

  • 3D display is similar to model presentations that are possible by collecting the chain of drive unit.

• Feature of 3D Display

  • The shape display transmits information to us by using 3D shape.

  • A hologram and visual reality transmit only visual information, but 3D shape display will transmit mostly using haptics.

• Application of 3D display

  • 3D display will be used with 3D street advertisement boards as well as 2D advertisement boards.

  • Consumer's interest will be increased by using an e-commerce device.

  • Educational device.

• Research Output

  • Development of a SMA-based about 30x10 mm wire frame drive unit.

  • The wire frame is composed of small units driven for 2D visual display.
