TACTIS 100 is a 100-cell text-only braille display. This product is the first text-only braille display released by Tactisplay Corp. It has 100 cells, but consists of four lines of 25 cells, which makes it shorter than common 40-cell braille display products. This display also features our scanning driver structure. As a result, this product has fewer parts, so it is economical, lower failure rate, light weight, low power consumption, and low cost. It even provides a lower price than common 40-cell braille displays.
There are line position marks at both left and right ends of the display area, and cell position marks at 5 cell intervals at both ends of the top and bottom of the display area. There is no cursor key, but you can use the arrow keys attached to the front of the display to display the desired content.
Page updates are executed in less than 5 seconds.
There is no battery inside this display, so you should always use it with the power adapter connected. When connected to a PC via Bluetooth, the contents of the screen are automatically displayed on the device through the screen reader S/W NVDA. When a USB memory is inserted into the device, the device displays the folder structure to the user, and through this, the desired folder and desired file are selected. The selected file, such as BRF, can be displayed.
Performance
The device refreshes the screen quickly with just two actuator bars.
