The display system comprises a screen ( 1 ) made of an array of metal triangular facets ( 30 ) which are driven in and out by an array of pneumatic pistons ( 2 ) located behind the screen ( 1 ). The rear ends of the pistons ( 2 ) are flexibly connected by damped pivots ( 8 ) to a structural frame ( 7 ). The front ends of the pistons ( 2 ) are flexibly coupled to connection nodes between the facets ( 30 ) by connection devices ( 10 ) which have legs ( 13 ) which may splay apart as the pistons are pushed forwards. The pistons ( 2 ) may therefore be used to give the screen ( 1 ) of the facets ( 30 ) a visible 3-dimensional surface effect such as a sinusoidal deformation ( 101 ). The display system also includes an electronic control system for driving the pistons ( 2 ). The electronic control system may use a stored data file to produce a particular surface effect on the screen ( 1 ). Alternatively, the control system may respond in real-time to an input such as ambient sound, ambient lighting conditions or the like. |
