Development of Electronic Tile for Decorating Walls and 3D Surfaces

Abstract

We have proposed and developed e-Tile for wall decoration and ornaments for interior/exterior. A prototype of 2 m x 2 m large energy-saving reflective panel was realized by arraying 400 e-Tiles on a flat plane. Prototypes of cubic displays were also realized by constructing e-Tiles to cubic shape. Artistic display effects and 3D impression could be found in these cubic prototypes. We hope e-Tile is a promising solution to extend the application field of e-Paper to decorative use including architectural applications.

Research on the Decorative Art Expression of Walls in Architectural Design

“…In the design of walls, if the principle of formal beauty is followed, beautiful lines, diverse shapes, and harmonious colors can be created, making the spatial structure rich and colorful. Following the principle of formal beauty is also consistent with the cultural psychology of the nation's pursuit of completeness and the longing for happiness and fulfillment [6][7].…”
