SeoulTech’s ‘graphene breakthrough’ could lead to ultrathin flexible displays

by

A new graphene-assisted laser lift-off method keeps ultrathin displays flawless and ready for wearable technology.

Researchers from Seoul National University of Science and Technology (SeoulTech) claim they have pioneered a graphene-based laser lift-off technique that prevents damage while separating ultrathin OLED displays.

By utilizing graphene’s ability to absorb UV light and distribute heat, they have achieved pristine, flexible displays. This advancement opens doors for ultra-thin, stretchable devices that fit comfortably against human skin, revolutionizing wearable device technology.

As the demand for thinner, lighter, and more flexible electronic devices grows, the need for advanced manufacturing processes has become critical. [Read more…] about SeoulTech’s ‘graphene breakthrough’ could lead to ultrathin flexible displays

How to Apply Color LCD Displays in Industrial Settings

Giving airplanes new life with new cockpits

by

Technology moves at a blistering pace, and what was modern and cool yesterday is outdated today.

That’s where UPS Airlines was with its Airbus A300 freighter aircraft fleet several years ago. The 52 wide-body “browntails,” with an average age of 18 years, have plenty of life left in them.

But the avionics in the cockpit needed a serious upgrade. The current flight management computers (FMC) used for navigation have just 200 kilobytes of storage. That was fine in 1983, when the A300-600 first flew, but nowhere near enough storage now. [Read more…] about Giving airplanes new life with new cockpits
