  • Lack of tactile feedback in visual displays
  • Limited user engagement in virtual environments
  • Inability to simulate textures in digital content

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced user experience through tactile feedback
  • Improved realism in virtual environments
  • Increased engagement and immersion in digital content

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be commercially applied in:

  • Entertainment industry for gaming and virtual reality experiences
  • Healthcare sector for medical training simulations
  • Education sector for interactive learning tools

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in haptic feedback technology includes:

  • Haptic feedback in smartphones and gaming controllers
  • Ultrasonic haptic feedback devices for sensory stimulation

Unanswered Questions

How does the vibration apparatus differentiate between the texture and ultrasonic signals to provide accurate tactile feedback?

The vibration apparatus likely has sensors or algorithms to distinguish between the texture and ultrasonic signals, adjusting the vibration patterns accordingly.

What is the power consumption of the display apparatus with the added vibration feature?

The power consumption of the display apparatus with the vibration feature would depend on the intensity and frequency of vibrations, as well as the efficiency of the vibration apparatus.


Original Abstract Submitted

a display apparatus is provided, and the display apparatus includes a display member having a plurality of pixels configured to display an image, and a vibration apparatus configured to vibrate the display member based on a haptic driving signal. the haptic driving signal includes a texture signal and an ultrasonic signal. accordingly, the display apparatus can provide a user with a tactile feedback including a virtual texture.
