[R&D] Next-generation Device Displays


N-screen. Every display is becoming a device.

Many kinds of display sizes are being created.

Lately, even bendable or rollable displays are being researched.

But the fundamental direction is being lost.

Rather than building and developing a separate display for every kind of device, we need an approach from a deeper starting point.


For instance,

a type where, when the device is grafted (connected) onto a bathroom mirror, the screen shows up on the mirror;

a type where, like a projector, light is cast and the expression happens between the starting and ending points defined by two rods;

various fiberglass materials (or materials of a reflective type) whose light area is bounded in order to act as a more efficient display.

As long as there is power (battery) and internet, the device makes the screen you want to see visible on varied materials in varied spaces.


The point we get out of this is not "n-screen."

Yes, you can see a bigger screen, or see various screens of the size you want. But that is not it either.

The ultimate aim is that through this we can digitize everything currently analog — going beyond IT. Everything.

All you need is one device, like a voice recorder shaped like a fountain pen.

1) Attach it to a book, and watch a video inside the book.

2) Through a bathroom mirror, see information like tweets and news.

3) Through a window, see today's or tomorrow's weather.

4) Through the wall of the home, watch a movie.

5) Through glasses or a car's front windshield, see another driver's speed and status.

6) Connect it to clothing to see your body temperature, pulse, or blood pressure.

I expect effects from combining with Arduino's custom-editing techniques.
