The use of graphene in the world of electronics is not only limited to the manufacture of next-generation processors, but could also be used in the near future in the manufacture of touch screens with an almost unlimited lifetime at low cost and very flexible.
This is the result of research carried out in parallel paths at the University of Texas (USA) and University of South Korea, which have successfully made rectangular sheets of graphene with the ability to drive electrons and to be totally transparent.
For research performed in the United States succeeded in manufacturing a sheet which is 76 inches diagonal, and thanks to the conductive properties of graphene, can be used as touch screen.
For their part, South Korean researchers have successfully made films larger than their counterparts in Texas, with the purpose of being used as a replacement of existing screens. The main objective of this research aims to find a cleaner material than that currently used in the manufacture of screens.
course to show that graphene can be used as feedstock for the manufacture of screens, researchers must show that the leaves made from this material have an excellent quality, leaving aside the problems of fractures or discontinuities that currently affect performance.
