New material which ends the era of charging smartphone once a day

A group of scientists of Oxford University in Britain has discovered a new material which can create a breakthrough for the display devices manufacturing industry. This is a material which has an ability to create a touch screen with ultra-low energy consumption and still show vivid color, resolution and contrast even under extreme sunlight.

Scientists of the group revealed that they are working negotiations with several consumer electronics companies to the world's largest technology transfer. Maybe in a few years, this new display technology will completely replace the touch screen today, ending a period of days smartphone charger once. We can create a whole new market – one of those scientists said in an interview – if you own a smart device, you will need to charge it every single day. In the future, you only have to charge it once a week.

The unit which develops this material is a spin-off company from Oxford university. The technology of the future screen has not been revealed, however, some exquisite scientists have realized that it may be made of phase change materials or germanium antimony tellurium.

Those materials had  appeared in the paper published last year by the scientists of the group. They created this material with a thickness of 7nm and they inserted two transparent electrode layer. Those layers are organized in order and they provide a line of ultra-low power. Even so, it was enough to create a flat or curved arbitrary capable color display for the smartphone.

At first, the images can only be created using electron force microscopy. However, the researchers then were able to prove that the layers of GST can create normal pixels as usual. Those are micro pixels which are only 300x300 nm and they can be turned off and on however you like to create dots of colors. This is the basis of a display technology of extremely high resolution. The researchers say the screens that they are targeting will have sizes ultra-vivid color, high-resolution and super good visibility of the smartphone under sunlight. All these features make the new material especially suitable for the exquisite display device such as smart glass, foldable screens, windshields and even artificial retina - researchers said.
