Scientists are developing a new electronic paper"ultra-
A thin and flexible display that works well even in bright light, such as in the sun.
The researchers say it is less thick than Micron and can be bent, and gives all the colors of the normal LED display, and it still needs ten times less energy than the Kindle tablet.
The best application for the display will be-
They say information is displayed in lighting places such as outdoors or in public places.
It could reduce energy consumption, they say, while replacing the currently non-electronic logo and information screens with more flexible logos and information screens.
Andreas Darin and Xiong Kunli from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden are placing conductive polymers on the nano structure, and they find that this combination is perfect for making electronic displays as thin as paper
"The paper version is similar to the Kindle tablet.
"It doesn't light up like a standard monitor, but reflects the external light that lights it up," Dahlin said . ".
He said: "Therefore, in places with bright light, such as in the sun, it works very well, and this monitor works best in the dark compared to the standard LED display.
"At the same time, it only needs a tenth of the energy used by the Kindle tablet, and the Kindle tablet itself uses a lot less energy than the tablet LED display," he added . ".
It all depends on the polymer's ability to control the absorption and reflection of light.
The polymer covering the entire surface leads the electrical signal throughout the display process and creates the image at high resolution.
The materials are not ready to apply, but the base is there.
The team has tested and built several pixels.
These use the same red, green and blue (RGB)
In the standard LED display, all colors can be combined together.
So far, the result is positive, and now the rest is building pixels that cover areas as large as a monitor.
"We are working fundamentally, but even then, the steps to make a product should not be too far away," Darling said . ".
One obstacle today is that there is gold and silver on the display, which makes manufacturing expensive.
"The surface of the gold is 20 nanometers thick, so there is not that much gold in it," Dahlin said . ".
"But at present, a lot of gold is wasted in the process of making gold.
"Either we reduce waste or we find another way to reduce manufacturing costs," he said . ".
The results were published in the journal Advanced Materials.
