The Chinese have learned to create electronic paper from graphene Bashny.Net

Chinese experts have developed the electronic paper from graphene. In the near future, this invention can make a revolution in the production of displays for electronic devices, including portable electronic gadgets and reading room. According to Chinese developers, the new material is also the easiest and most robust of all the others.




Graphene electronic paper is a joint development of Guangzhou OED Technologies and another company from the province Chongqing (Chongqing). Paper thickness is only 0, 335 nm, so it is ideal for creating flexible displays (but the screen can be tough when necessary). Graphene electronic paper is both the conductor and the electric current and heat. It can be used to create more vivid displays for e-readers.



Cost of graphene paper is not very high, due to the fact that it is obtained from carbon. Traditional reading room (there are screens) is produced with the use of indium, a rare earth metal. India is quite expensive, so the reading room is expensive.

In addition, based on graphene can be created and touch screens for mobile phones. In this case it is covered with plastic, rather than glass that did again, reduces the cost of production. Smartphones with this type of screen can be made foldable and very thin. And the display is difficult to break the graphene, so smartphones become more resistant to shocks and falls.

As for the screens for smartphones based on graphene, then to the commercial use of the technology is still far. But a new type of electronic paper will go into production during the year.
