Aerial Touch Display "La+ touch™"
Floating image is simulated.
Vivid images “floating” in the air.
Futuristic Non-Contact HMI (Human-Machine-Interface) becomes available by a combination of aerial floating display and air-location detection sensor, like ToF sensor.
Aerial Floating Display + Air-location Sensor
Non-Contact HMI
Contactless interface can prevent virus (e.g. coronavirus) and microbe from adhering to fingers; very effective display solution to prevent the transmission of the virus and enhance public sanitation.
Floating image can be seen only from the straight direction and it is hard to peep at image from oblique directions; this solution is effective to increase a privacy control of high-security equipment (e.g. PIN input).
TOPPAN plans to propose and provide not only “Aerial Floating Display” only but also a total HMI solution incorporating a sensor to detect air-position of fingers.
Technology Background
- A light emitted from LCD display will be retro-reflected by orthogonal adjacent 2 reflection plane on micro-mirror-array. A floating image will be optically formed at plane-symmetric position in the air.
- Toppan's high transmittance LCD panel, high brightness backlight and proprietary optical design expertise enable to provide exceptional vivid aerial imaging experience with very bright and less ghost picture.
Aerial Image Position
45-degree standing position has been assumed as a standard position of Aerial Floating Display, but Toppan's unique optical design approach enabled to place the floating image in parallel to the unit surface.
The display unit of “parallel-floating”, furthermore, could decrease its module thickness down to almost half compared to 45-degree type.
