[Blindtlk] A refreshable Braille display-related idea

[Hyde, David W. (ESC)]

Currently, there is no multi-line display. There have been rumors about it for years. I remember a fellow from France in 1992 saying there was one that would be out in just a couple years. When we do get one, it will probably not be like the ones we have. The more moving parts something has, the more expensive. If we ever get to the point where we can use some kind of piazo-electric effect, then perhaps a full page would be possible.

That would be incredibly expensive, for starters.  In theory, as a braille reader, I like your idea, but refreshable braille on the page level isn't practically cost-effective.
