ABSTRACT

Visionless persons find very difficult to access the screen of

computer and mobile. This article presents a preliminary novelty attempt
towards the design of Computer Display Board (CBD) with the support of
Braille language to solve the problem. Using basic logic designs the system
converts computer screen information to Braille Computer Display Board
(CBD) signals.

A microchip design approach is undertaken in place of the

complicated logic circuit to solve the problem. Synchronization table formed
towards the implementation of Digits and Alphabets to Braille Language is
established. The entire process of the designed prototype is presented for
Computer Display Board (CBD). This attempted research article strives to
facilitate a cyber-communication facility for visionless people. Special
characters are added for extension of the project.
INTRODUCTION

Braille display:-
Braille display or Braille terminal is an electro-mechanical device for
displaying Braille characters, usually by means of round-tipped raised through
holes in a flat surface.

Nowadays, Braille has become the most important way to learn and
obtain information for visually impaired. Although they are deprived in a way
but they are blessed with other sensations like heating touching smelling etc.
which in a way are superior to any so called normal persons.

ASCII Input acceptance and following for 10 Numbers and 26

Alphabets is first block, Second block consider Input Progress and Digitized
Circuits, Corresponding Combination of High and Low Output to the 6 bit
Braille Cell is in Third block and Final block is Output which is Braille
Display Board.

The entire congested circuitry mechanism is full of Complexity of

47 AND gates, 25 NOT gates and 19 OR gates.

DRAWBACKS OF THIS METHOD

• Circuit complexity

• Only Alphabets and Digits are implemented

PROPOSAL METHOD

To overcome the drawbacks of conventional method the

Braille alphabets and special characters are also implemented in the
circuit. The number of gates are reduced to reduce the complexity of the
circuit.
In future aspects the overall system is developed with a VLSI
based processor chip for a single Braille Computer Display board
