Global Refreshable Braille Display Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

A refreshable braille display is a piece of computer hardware that has a series of refreshable, or fluid, braille cells on its surface. Most displays contain a single line with anywhere from fourteen to eighty braille cells. Instead of small holes in a piece of paper, each braille dot in these cells is represented by a tiny pin that can be raised or lowered. This allows individuals who are blind to read the information in braille by running their fingers over the refreshable braille cells and then advancing the display to show the next set of characters.
