In this paper, a compact tactile display which consists of multiple vibrotactile actuators with 4- different vibrotactile unbalanced mass and a peltier thermoelectric module is proposed. By stimulating 2 different sensory modalities including mechanoreceptors and thermo-receptor simultaneously, surface texture and material composition can be displayed using the implemented device. With this implementing concept, the developed device can be used to display surface texture and temperature together, and it has the possibility of implementing a small-size, multifingered tactile display device.
