A shutter system includes a substrate having a front surface with a length and a width, and a conductive layer on a portion of the front surface of the substrate; a dielectric layer disposed on the conductive layer; and an electrostatic shutter having a proximal end attached to the dielectric layer such that a portion of the shutter is in direct physical contact with the dielectric layer at a point at or adjacent the attached proximal end. The shutter is configured to transition between extended and retracted configurations. In the same or an alternative embodiment, the system includes a reinforcement configured such that when the shutter is in the extended configuration, an edge at a distal end of the shutter opposite the proximal end remains substantially parallel to the proximal end of the shutter as the shutter transitions from the extended configuration to the retracted configuration.

Provided is a display device. The display device includes: a display panel; a motor-driven module, which is configured to be connected to the display panel and drive the display panel to move; a control module, which is configured to control the motor-driven module; a first module and a second module disposed opposite to each other in a first direction, where the first module and the second module are able to move relatively in a second direction; a first unit, which is disposed on a side of the first module facing the second module; a second unit, which is disposed on a side of the second module facing the first module; and in response to a position relationship between the first unit and the second unit, providing, by the control module, a first control signal for the motor-driven module, where the first direction intersects the second direction.

The invention relates to a device for a utility vehicle structure, having at least one component (38, 39, 40, 43) of the utility vehicle structure with a pixel technology-based display field (5, 6) for displaying changing motifs, said display field having a plurality of separately actuatable display pixels. The display field is attached to the exterior of the component or is structurally integrated into the exterior of the component.

A three-dimensional (3D) display system may include a peg array of multiple pegs. Each peg may be individually addressable and designed to move along one or more axes. The 3D display system may also include an induction array having multiple electromagnetic coils to generate electromagnetic fields. The electromagnetic fields may induce magnetic forces upon at least one peg to cause the peg to move along an axis into an actuated position. The 3D display may also include a display screen to be distended into a 3D topography via contact with at least one peg in the actuated position.

[Object] Construct a system for freely changing images to be displayed or displaying images at appropriate timing [Solution] Control system for controlling the rotating displays. light emitting elements arranged in a line on a rotating plate. A server stores image data in a storage device and transmits the image data to the rotating displays. The storage device stores user data. user data includes a type of each rotating display held by the user. The user data includes a time schedule for displaying the image data. The server supplies to the terminal device an operation screen for user interface. User interface allows to select the image data and a time schedule for displaying the image data, or allows the user to create displayable image data. The server has a display controller that transmit to the rotating displays the image data, that selected or created by the user and transmit the data indicating the time schedule.

An active, specialized stylus and sharp color graphics may be combined with a tactile display in order to increase accessibility to the blind and visually impaired. A tactile display may consist of an array of pins that may be raised to varying heights to represent contours and outlines of images that are recognizable when touched. A specialized stylus may allow the user to instantly create, touch and save tactile drawings or alter with multi-sensory feedback.

A tactile and visual display may consist of an array of pins, with circular or squared-off tops. Physical attributes may be given to individual pins, the screen itself (LED), or a LCD WXGA or other type of projector may be incorporated so that enhanced visual imaging is combined with tactile graphics to give those with different levels of visual impairment a multisensory feedback when experiencing images or drawings. Also this technology may be used with autistic students and those with learning disabilities, as well as serve as a means of entertainment.
