Digital Room Screens

Tech News 7 October 2008 | 0 Comments

Folding screens are very elegant item and also very useful in open concept dwelling spaces like studios and one room open concept spaces. We can also use them to get some privacy in our home offices. The high tech versions are very elegant and contemporary at the same time.
Folding screens have always been a fashionable decorative piece of furniture but they are usually made of bamboo cane, wood or rice paper. Some are also made of glass or etched glasses. Many of them on the market are just plain slats of wood or just bamboo. Wicker dividers have also been popular as have been ones covered only with fabric.
For centuries this very plain piece of furniture has been livened up with Oriental prints on rice paper inserted into the panels. Usually these are the mass produced prints you see marketed in China town. These prints are very traditional and usually are of cranes, birds, koi fish, carp, waterfalls, mountains and lucky Asian symbols.
The concept behind the new digital panels is the same as the traditional old design. It is just that instead of a plain panel or oriental panel there is now a digital print in the center. The digital print can be traditional or it can be newer in flair. It is just a matter of taste after all. Keep in mind too that the subtly glowing screen can also be a beautiful source of light in any room.
There are a couple of companies offering this type of screen. One of them is Hyundai. This company came out with a cutting edge digital folding screen in January of this year. The latest company to come out with a digital folding screen is Dawoo. This company has invented a digital folding screen that has four integrated LCD panels that can be put on faders, switch images or just stay static as you please.
Keep in mind too that you don’t have to be traditional with the images that you choose. Although the eight lucky horses or nine goldfish screen is traditional you could also have landscape photography, vintage portraits, classical paintings or anime on your screens as well.
Basically you can program the screens on the digitalized room dividers to display whatever different content on all of the panels. You can keep the panels static and or you can program in content those changes at certain time intervals. This certainly would make the wait at the dentist or yoga office less boring. It would be like watching Zen television if you were choosing very soothing images.
You can also have a selection of images and choose them to suit a mood or theme for a party. For instance if you are having a dinner party with red linen and plates you can also “tune” your room divider screens to be read as well.
