When the magnetic-fluid display apparatus works, the pickup devices 3 receive surrounding sound waves and convert sound signals into electrical signals, the electrical signals are transmitted to the electromagnetic elements 2 through the circuit board 4, the electromagnetic elements 2 convert the electrical signals into a magnetic field, magnetic induction intensity of the magnetic field where the magnetic fluid is located is related to intensity of the electrical signals, and a function of controlling magnetic-fluid display through pickup is realized.
A transparent liquid filled with the magnetic fluid may be arranged inside the display container 1. The magnetic fluid may be formed by dispersing magnetite particles in an organic solvent of an oily substance; and the transparent liquid may be one or a mixture of more of water, ethanol and isopropanol. The above material is similar to those selected in the prior art, and the properties will not be described in detail here.
In the example, electromagnets are used as the electromagnetic elements 2, and the electromagnets change the magnetic induction intensity of the magnetic field generated by the electromagnets according to the intensity of the electrical signals, so that the magnetic induction intensity of the position where the magnetic fluid is located changes.

More specifically, there are a plurality of the pickup devices 3 and a plurality of the pickup holes 512. In the example, there are three pickup devices 3 and three pickup holes 512, and the three pickup devices 3 are equally spaced in the form of a row. The sound reception effect can be further improved through the arrangement of the three pickup devices 3.
