Graphene flexible display was born

Recently, such display prototype products have been developed. Researchers use graphene technology to provide a more efficient flexible display. In the future, the display may really be fully curved and foldable.

The prototype is produced by the University of Cambridge Graphene Research Center and the British company Plastic Logic. It is an active matrix electrophoretic display that displays images by rearranging suspended particles on the solution using an electric field. This display is similar to today's e-reader displays, but instead of glass, it uses soft plastic, and this is the first time that graphene technology has been applied to transistor-based electronics.

As we all know, the general display backplane is a conductive connection layer that can provide power support and rearrange the suspended display particles. But this display is very different from the traditional display, which uses an emulsion-treated graphene electrode instead of a standard sputter-deposited metal electrode. In other words, by using low temperature processing, graphene is "printed" on the backing substrate. Plastic Logic has also developed an organic thin-film transistor technology that produces a display backplane of 150 PPI (number of pixels per inch) at temperatures as low as less than 100 °C. The storage electrode will then begin etching in accordance with the specified circuit pattern to provide a backplane connection network.

At present, flexible displays have been applied to some electronic devices, such as LG has produced a similar display. But this new graphene is cheaper and can be mass produced. With graphene materials, flexible displays offer the lowest cost, the most convenient manufacturing solution, and their inherent electronic properties can be utilized on many electronic components such as conductors, supercapacitors, solar cells, and more.

In the future, if combined with LCD and OLED technology, this technology will have full color support and meet the high-speed refresh rate requirements of video display. Currently, the R&D team is envisioning the development of a new flexible backplane to apply this technology to lighter, more scalable high-density sensors such as high-resolution medical imaging systems and highly accurate gesture recognition applications.

The research was recently supported by the UK Technology Strategy Board and as part of its graphene revolution project. Next year, the technology is likely to be used in the production of OLED-based full-color flexible graphene displays.
