3D printing-based mirrored image component for seamless modular curved-edge displays

A facile method for designing and fabricating a concave mirror from a 3D printed mold is proposed for a seamless modular curved-edge display. The concave mirror is placed on the seam of modular curved-edge display, thereby reflecting images at the curved-edge area toward the observer direction. By i...

Description
Summary:A facile method for designing and fabricating a concave mirror from a 3D printed mold is proposed for a seamless modular curved-edge display. The concave mirror is placed on the seam of modular curved-edge display, thereby reflecting images at the curved-edge area toward the observer direction. By investigating the concave mirror structures based on parametric modeling, we obtain a continuous image in a modular curved-edge display by optically concealing the seam. We also analyze the luminance distribution and the viewing angle of the seamless modular curved-edge display to show the capability of concealing the seam by the concave mirror.
