Stretchable, Foldable Transparent Display
Sep-25-13
Researchers have developed a transparent, stretchable OLED that could have applications in smartphone technology, medical tools and wallpaper.Developed by a team from UCLA, the OLED can be repeatedly twisted, folded or stretched a room temperature and still remain illuminated. To create the OLED, the team sandwiched a single layer of an electro-luminescent polymer blend between a pair of transparent, elastic composite electrodes. The electrodes were created by embedding a network of silver nanowires into a rubbery polymer, which allows the device to function at room temperature.
The development of the elastic, transparent electrodes (which were not available until now) will open the door to stretchable displays as well as minimally invasive medical tools, clothing integrated with electronics and illuminated wallpaper.
