Braille Display

Braille Display

• Research Background

  • There is a need to replace the dots on paper with an automatic device for the blind.

                       Background to develop the device for the blind

• Research  Objectives

  • • Development of small, light and potable braille display for visually impaired people.

    • The size of braille module is 8mm(W)x11mm(L)x10mm(H), the distance of each points is 3mm and the weight is 2g.

    • The recognition rate is expected to be more than 80%.

• Research Output

  • • Small and light braille modules are developed using piezoelectric linear motors.

    • The braille display provides high quality braille information.
