One step closer to rollable, foldable electronic devices

The next generation of electronic displays – e-Readers, smartphones and tablets – is closer thanks to research out today from the University of Cincinnati.Advances that will eventually bring foldable/rollable e-devices as well as no pixel borders are experimentally verified and proven to work in concept at UC’s Novel Devices Laboratory. That research is published this week in the journal Nature Communications.The e-Sheet, a virtually indestructible e-device, will be as thin and as rollable as a rubber mat. UC research is bringing closer the e-Sheet, shown here in a photo illustration. e-Devices will one day be as thin and as rollable as a rubber mat.The UC paper, “Bright e-Paper by Transport of Ink through a White Electrofluidic Imaging Film” is authored by College of Engineering and Applied Science doctoral students Matthew Hagedon, Shu Yang, and Ann Russell, as well as Jason Heikenfeld, associate professor of electronic and computing systems. UC worked on this research with partner: start-up company Gamma Dynamics
