Canned air is what you use on most computer equipment. However, do not use it on embossers. I was instructor by the manufacturer of my embosser not to use it on the embosser because it blows dust up into the machine.
It is probably okay on your braille display but I'm not certain how much it will get off. Canned air primarily moves loose dust that has settled in your keyboard or hard drive. With a display, your hands naturally have body grease that will help keep the dirt in place and allows it to cause the pins to stick. You could probably try the canned air and see if it helps any, but I theorize (I do not know for certain) that it will still need the damp cloth to help remove build up. The only way to prevent naturally occuring body grease buildup would be to wash your hands every fifteen minutes at least. Therefore, anyone that says they never use dirty hands on their display, is probably not true. If they scratched their arm, rubbed an eye, or simply rested their chin on their hand would cause them to have body residue that could potentially get in their display.
