A research team at the University of California, Berkeley published a paper in the journal "Natural Materials" today, announcing the development of a flexible screen made of plastic. This kind of screen called "electronic skin" can vary with the pressure. Change the brightness. With the increasing consumer demand for wearable devices, researchers are very interested in the research of flexible display materials. A research team at the University of California, Berkeley turned its attention to a very common material: plastic.
This "electronic skin" touch response can also be oriented to medical applications and interactive displays.
The team made a flexible screen called "electronic skin" with a resolution of 16x16 pixels. Touch the screen, the electronic skin will glow, the greater the pressure, the higher the brightness. This material can be used as an interactive wallpaper, used on the screen of a watch, or integrated into a car dashboard for touch control. The R & D team also believes that this electronic skin can allow the robot to have a more precise tactile sensation.
In order to make this kind of electronic skin, the research team first cured a layer of plastic on the surface of the silicon wafer, then covered a layer of electronic components, and finally peeled off the silicon layer of the plastic layer. In the end, each pixel of the plastic film contains a transistor, an LED, and a pressure sensor.
The team ’s research results were published today in the journal Nature Materials, and its co-author Chuan Wang (transliteration) said in a statement: “Integrating sensors into the network is already common, but the The conversion of data into something interactive is a breakthrough. Moreover, unlike the rigid touch screens of iPhones, computer monitors and ATM cash machines, electronic skins are flexible and can easily be attached to any surface. "
The paper introduces that this kind of electronic skin can be used in the equipment manufactured by the existing semiconductor process. More interestingly, the price of this electronic skin is relatively low. Now, the team is working on research and development to try to add light and temperature sensitive properties to this material.
