Dude, could you turn your screen down? Trying to carry a conversation over here.
-
Should paint the dark side with vantablack. OLED level contrast!
-
I love the sound it makes. It's unlike anything else.
-
"In Every Pixel"... Except for the ones that are stuck
-
A perfect example of YouTube video compression gone crazy.
-
It does the "static snow" transition every time because i think it cannot toggle all pixels at the same time: back EMF from coils would be too huge to handle. So it toggles just 1/10th at a time, in pseudorandom snow.
-
But can it play Bad Apple?
-
An alternate reality where this was invented before crt
-
You can even hear how loud the flipdots are when processing every pixel at once.
-
Display replacement will be covered under warranty only if there are 4 or more stuck or dead pixels in an area the size of a US Quarter Dollar or smaller. So they made the pixels all the size of a quarter...
-
Pretty cool how far they managed to push the technology. Even for 6 years ago.
-
Would be cool to see a demo where the music is generated by the screen itself.
-
Dang, The refresh rate is very good for something mechanical like that
-
The very first thing I thought of after seeing those little flip dots was, "I wonder if someone has made a display out of these before". Of course they did...
-
That's the highest low resolution text I've ever seen very impressive
-
I see dead pixels :P
-
Tohou Fans would love to animate their video on this Flip-Dot Display. All jokes aside, this is the retrofuture stuff that I like. Just imagine analog stuff being the real future instead of the real AR/VR stuff. Not hating the AR/VR stuff, but making a modern working analog stuff would be amazing while we can touch grass too.
-
wonder how much electric it use to drive all those 74088 pixel/dots
-
once there's a power outage or something happens, the screen will probably just, stop moving, so its stuck on the frame it was before would be a cool concept for an apocalypses game
-
i guess no matter what, we can never escape dead pixels
