The Scanwheel portable wide-screen electromechanical TV achieves a resolution of 4,096 by 20 pixels
↗
An engineer created the Scanwheel, a pocket-size wide-screen electromechanical TV featuring a resolution of 4,096 by 20 pixels, after initially intending to build a clock.
This project demonstrates a novel application of electromechanical television technology to achieve a highly portable, wide-screen display format. It provides a working example of how mechanical systems can produce ultra-wide resolutions that might be difficult to implement with traditional electronic displays at similar scales.
