You haven't answered my question. The price is 1/20 or 1/30. What does this
mean?

The price of an actuator itself appears to be 1/20 to 1/30 the cost of a
simular bimorph actuator. The actuators can be used to construct either
optacon displays or braille displays or whatever the builder has in mind.
At this point, refinements and production techniques are in order.

The combination sounds good. I did not understand the speculative price,
1/30 to 1/20? What does the mean?

So, what of the braille PDA optacon combination? Anyone?
