Abstract

Provided is a smart pixel blind having aesthetics that may be felt by a user by including a plurality of pixels disposed in a two-dimensional array. In the smart pixel blind, driving devices are provided in the respective pixels, and when the user inputs a predetermined shape using a portable terminal, or the like, a main controller receives the input shape and controls the driving devices provided in the respective pixels to allow the input shape to be displayed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A smart pixel blind comprising:
a blind body adjusting an amount of irradiated light input from an exterior;
a plurality of pixels formed in the blind body, disposed in a two-dimensional array, having predetermined areas, and formed to be opened or closed;
a plurality of connecting parts connecting the pixels formed in the same row or column to each other,
wherein the plurality of connecting parts are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance; and
driving parts each provided on the pixels so that the pixels rotate in relation to the connecting parts to be opened or closed,
wherein the connecting part includes:
a plurality of shield boxes in which insertion holes into which the driving parts are inserted are formed; and
a connecting bar connecting the plurality of shield boxes to each other,
wherein the driving part includes:
a fixed part having a hole vertically formed therein and inserted and fixed into the insertion hole of the shield box;
a rotating part disposed to penetrate through the hole of the fixed part and having one pixel coupled to one side thereof; and
a shaft positioned at a center of the hole of the fixed part and penetrating through a central portion of the rotating part to allow the rotating part to rotate around the central portion of the rotating part.

2. The smart pixel blind of claim 1 , wherein the driving part further includes an adaptor inserted into the insertion hole of the shield box to receive power.

3. The smart pixel blind of claim 2 , wherein the fixed part has a protrusion surface formed on an upper surface thereof, and has a fixed magnetic pole formed on the protrusion surface,
the rotating part has a first moving magnetic pole formed at the other side thereof, and
when power is applied to the first moving magnetic pole through the adaptor, the fixed magnetic pole and the first moving magnetic pole face each other, such that the pixels are completely opened.

4. The smart pixel blind of claim 3 , wherein the rotating part has a second moving magnetic pole formed at a central portion thereof, and
when power is applied to the second moving magnetic pole through the adaptor, the fixed magnetic pole and the second moving magnetic pole face each other, such that the pixels are partially opened.

5. The smart pixel blind of claim 1 , further comprising a main controller formed on the blind body and outputting opening or closing commands to the respective driving parts to open or close the plurality of pixels.

6. The smart pixel blind of claim 5 , further comprising a portable terminal connected to the main controller by wired or wireless communication,
wherein the plurality of pixels are opened or closed on the basis of a shape input to the portable terminal.
