Deployable flexible displays attract a great attention recently. The flexible display used on electronic equipment have been developed, which can deploy to reveal a much larger screen or rolled up. However, one of major problems is its actuation of deployment and fixture. In this paper, a deployable display actuated by the SMP actuator is proposed. The shape memory polymer (SMP) actuator, which is considered to be attached to the back side of a flexible display, is used to deploy and fix the flexible display. A new method of laser-induced actuation of SMP actuator is investigated. By this method, the SMP can be induced by infrared light transmitted through a treated optical fiber embedded in the actuator. |
