Researches create flexible display that changes color like a chameleonJune 27, 2015 - 09:49 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Researchers at the University of Central Florida have created a new kind of full-color display that's a fraction of the width of a human hair and just as flexible. Debashis Chanda and his team have worked in ultra-thin, nano-sculpted materials for years, but this technology is perhaps the most impressive — and marketable — result yet, NBC News reports. "All man-made displays — LCD, LED, CRT — are rigid, brittle and bulky," said Chanda in a news release. "But you look at an octopus, they can create color on the skin itself covering a complex body contour, and it's stretchable and flexible. That was the motivation: Can we take some inspiration from biology and create a skin-like display?" It's still very much in the early stages, but the display's thinness and range of color are well ahead of competing technologies — traditional LCDs, OLEDs and e-paper displays are hundreds of times thicker, and can't pack nearly as many pixels into a given area. The technology won't replace your smartphone display or TV, but it might lead to a new standard for color-changing clothing, camouflage, or other applications where flexibility and color are highly valued. Chanda's research appeared in the June issue of Nature Communications. Top stories Yerevan will host the 2024 edition of the World Congress On Information Technology (WCIT).
