SHAPE-VARIABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD OF THE SAME
Provided are a shape-variable electronic device and an operation method of the same. More specifically, the shape-variable electronic device includes a substrate having a cell region, a light source on the cell region, a flexible layer provided vertically spaced apart from the light source part, a chamber between the light source part and the flexible layer, and a pressure control unit configured to adjust an internal pressure of the chamber. The flexible layer includes a photo-thermal response part configured to emit thermal energy by receiving light emitted from the light source part, and a deformation part of which mechanical stiffness is decreased by receiving the thermal energy from the photo-thermal response part.
PRESENTATION SYSTEM WITH MOVABLE DISPLAY DEVICES
The present system and method provides for a new digital media paradigm enabling tight choreography of motion, content and, time able to be presented on a variety of hardware platforms consisting of robotic control of a multiplicity of display screens in the form of a movable array of 2 or more LCDs, LEDs, OLEDs, etc., with the movement and placement of each display achieved by one multi-axis manipulator arm mechanism. Motion control is achieved through software programmed onto one or more controller systems, and the corresponding tools necessary for creative visual designers to produce content meeting this new paradigm are also proposed. Each arm/display screen combination is kept aware of its positioning in physical space, relative to the positioning of each and every other arm/display screen at all times, in order to prevent collisions. The pre-programmed software control takes the form of a choreographed playlist of movements, content, and time that match the desired positioning of the array of display screens, in order to achieve the desired dynamic presentation of custom produced digital content that will be presented across the array, in a fully coordinated fashion.
