Shade Pixel

Physical display

Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology - KAIST

Shade Pixel is a physical display that uses a shapeable skin to create concave pixels to represent such information as patterns, numbers and texts. Unlike typical light-emitting displays, Shade Pixel uses shade to visualize information in a manner similar to Cuneiform or Sunkenrelief. This evokes a primitive naturalness and provides sensory and hence emotional comfort to users. In addition, its non-luminescent nature and simple appearance reduces unnecessary visual noise, especially when it is not in use.
