(Nanowerk Information) A groundbreaking 100-inch or bigger super-sized Nano Clear Display (NTS) has been developed and commercialized for the primary time on the earth. This revolutionary display screen can regulate its transparency based on the surroundings and might be produced at a low value, paving the best way for the widespread adoption of enormous clear screens, which till now have been prohibitively costly.
|
The newly developed display screen is anticipated to seek out purposes throughout varied merchandise, similar to clear shows in department shops and supermarkets, good home windows for buildings, and versatile clear shows appropriate for each indoor and out of doors promotional makes use of.

The analysis workforce led by Principal Researcher Jun-Ho Jeong of the Nanolithography and Manufacturing Analysis Middle of the Korea Institute of Equipment and Supplies (KIMM) and Meta2People has succeeded within the commercialization of a 100-inch large-sized NTS whose transparency might be freely adjusted relying on the data offered by the encompassing lighting and pictures.

The NTS was put in within the out of doors area of the “Youth Mall” situated in Chungju in June, and might be disclosed on the Worldwide Nanotechnology Exhibition “Nano Korea 2024,” which is the nation’s largest nanotechnology conference scheduled to be held from July 3-5, 2024 at KINTEX in Ilsan.

The NTS developed by the KIMM consists of a movie as skinny as a human hair, made by evenly dispersing titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, with a diameter of 100 nanometers, contained in the movie. When mild is emitted from the beam projector to the NTS, a really huge and clear picture, at a viewing angle of 170 levels, might be considered along with the surroundings past the clear display screen. Due to this fact, the video on the display screen is seen to the viewers from each angle.
|
Furthermore, the NTS developed by the KIMM’s analysis workforce might be overlapped with a Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal(PDLC) movie. When the brightness of the ambient mild requires adjustment or when detailed pictures have to be projected, the transparency of the PDLC movie might be lowered to supply clearer pictures.

The worth of a standard 100-inch clear Natural Mild-Emitting Diode (OLED) display screen is over KRW 100 million (about USD 70 000), which is just too costly for common customers to afford, whereas clear Mild-Emitting Diode (LED) has not been extensively used because of its low decision.

NTSs might be mass-produced by a roll-to-roll course of, they are often equipped to the market at round 10 % of the value of clear OLED screens. These screens are additionally able to producing clear pictures with out lack of decision by utilizing the very best decision beam projector.
|
Moreover, the traits of NTS s associated to mild not often change in excessive and low temperature environments, making it attainable to fabricate 100-inch or bigger clear screens within the type of light-weighted and versatile movies.
|
Furthermore, as NTSs usually are not affected by antagonistic climate circumstances similar to excessive chilly or warmth waves, these screens are appropriate for indoor in addition to out of doors set up.
|
Principal Researcher Jun-Ho Jeong of the KIMM commented, “The technology for manufacturing NTSs is a cutting-edge, innovative technology created through the combination of nanomaterials and nanomanufacturing technology with existing IT technologies.” He added, “Going forward, we will focus on research and development to continuously improve the quality of NTSs and lead the popularization of transparent screens.”

President Seog-Hyeon Ryu of the KIMM remarked, “This research is substantially meaningful in that the KIMM has successfully commercialized its technology jointly with a research institute spin-off company established through the KIMM’s investment of its original patented technology.” President Ryu additionally mentioned, “We will continue to devote ourselves to the development of technologies that can contribute to the development of national strategic technologies and also to the revitalization of local economies.”
