Abstract

We have proposed and developed a tactile display that uses electrical current as a stimulus.The main characteristic of this display is that each type of mechanoreceptors is stimulated separately so that "tactile primary colors" are defined. In this paper, we fabricated a 4x4 array electrode system, presented surface roughness, pattern, and relative motion.
