CURVED TOUCH DISPLAY APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING TACTILE FEEDBACK AND METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A curved touch display apparatus for providing tactile feedback, the curved touch display apparatus comprising:
- a curved screen in which an image is displayed;
a projector including an infrared irradiator which irradiates infrared rays to the curved screen;
an infrared camera photographing an infrared image reflected from the curved screen;
an ultrasonic wave array module including a plurality of ultrasonic wave generators which generate airborne ultrasonic waves; and
a controller determining a touched point on the curved screen based on the infrared image, and controlling an operation of the ultrasonic wave array module to generate the airborne ultrasonic waves directed to the touched point.
