Comes with plastic OLED display

Recently, a team led by Prof. Ali Javey, head of UC Berkeley's electrical and computer engineering department, successfully developed the first sensor network that allowed users to interact on plastic. flexible.

Specifically, the surface of the resin can respond immediately to touch by lightening . The greater the torque, the brighter the light.

To do this, the researchers used a nanoparticle amplifier placed at the top of a thin rubber sheet. The latest prototype has a resolution of 16x16 pixels. Each pixel contains a transistor, an organic LED and a pressure sensor.

In particular, this sensor system can remove polymer particles to become more flexible so that it is easily compatible with many different types of surfaces.

UC Berkeley researchers will soon be working to produce a flexible OLED display that integrates the power of the sensor. Professor Ali Javey also said that the technology is not complicated and can be completed by the current chip manufacturers.
