OLED Technology Is on the Rise?
Graphene
Silver Nanowires
"It" is said to spike OLED? New discoveries by foreign scientists
On the 26th of last month, BOE officially launched an AMOLED screen production line. This marks a major milestone, as it not only proves that China can now independently produce flexible screens but also allows BOE to break free from Samsung’s dominance, becoming the second global company to mass-produce flexible display technology. This achievement is truly something to be proud of for the entire nation. However, while BOE makes progress, new advancements in screen technology are quietly emerging overseas.
According to reports from foreign media, scientists have developed a new eco-friendly and highly flexible screen material by combining silver and graphene. This innovation offers a much lower cost compared to current smartphone displays. Additionally, the production process requires less energy and results in more durable materials that are not easily damaged in air environments. The traditional material used in smartphones, indium tin oxide (ITO), is both fragile and expensive.
Indium, a key component of ITO, is a rare metal that not only comes at a high price but also has negative environmental impacts. Silver has been considered as a potential alternative, but it still remains costly. Researchers at the University of Sussex in England have combined silver nanowires with graphene to create a hybrid carbon material. This new material matches the performance of ITO while significantly reducing costs.
Although silver nanowires have already been used in touch screen technology, no one has previously attempted to combine them with graphene. This is a novel approach in material science. Scientists allow graphene particles to float on water, then use special tools to collect and place them onto the silver nanowires, enabling the creation of any desired pattern.
This groundbreaking technology is inherently flexible. The combination of silver nanowires and graphene is simple, requiring just a spray and a patterned roller. Researchers believe this could revolutionize mobile phone screens, potentially making power consumption a thing of the past. According to Dalton, adding graphite to the silver nanowire grid can increase electrical conductivity by up to 10,000 times.
Matthew Large, a researcher at the University of Sussex, said, “This means that only a small amount of silver is needed to achieve the same effect, and possibly even better. It also makes the devices using this screen more sensitive and consumes less power.†Although silver is still a rare metal, this technology reduces the amount required. Graphite, on the other hand, is derived from natural graphite, which is abundant and therefore cheaper.
Large also noted that even after repeated bending, the material maintains its conductivity, suggesting that this screen could be ideal for flexible applications. What's more, the cost is expected to drop significantly due to the availability of raw materials.
Comments: While the performance of this new screen is impressive, it is currently still in the lab stage. Most of what we see is conceptual, and it will take time before it can truly challenge OLED technology. Still, the future of display technology looks promising, and innovations like these could reshape how we interact with our devices.
