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
- 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%.
- Small and light braille modules are developed using piezoelectric linear motors.
- The braille display provides high quality braille information.
