Abstract
One or more computer processors detect a contextual need for sound generation on a rollable display device, wherein the rollable display device comprises an array of micro-speakers mounted on one or more microfluidics panels and a plurality of embedded piezoelectric strips. The one or more computer processors identify one or more environmental parameters associated with an environment surrounding the rollable display device. The one or more computer processors determine a rolling profile associated with the rollable based on the detected contextual need and the one or more identified environmental parameters. The one or more computer processors roll the rollable display device based on the determined rolling profile utilizing the plurality of piezoelectric strips. The one or more computer processors adjust an output direction of each micro-speaker in the array of micro-speakers utilizing the respective microfluidics panel.
