Hard as glass flexible-like plastic foldable displays
LG Chem, one of the LG firms, has developed a cover window, using their innovative flexible coating material that can fold like plastic while keeping its strength, durability, and glass-like appearance. LG Chem’s cover window, which is a protective element over the screen and digitizers is referred to as a “Real Folding window” which is a few millimeters thick that can be folded more than 200,000 times before showing any signs of wear. What makes LG Chem’s foldable screen a significant breakthrough in the foldable smartphone industry, is that it can be folded both inwards and outwards allowing a vast of configurations on the screen displays using LG Chem’s innovative coating material. The Real Folding window is developed by coating both sides of PET film, a type of thin plastic, with micrometers thick LG Chem’s coated materials which could enhance the heat-resistance, mechanical properties of the plastic materials. This makes the cover window not only thinner than the existed tempered glass but also the same thickness without any cracking in the screen. “LG Chem is also developing technologies to produce a thin 'Real Folding Window' with only coating and not needing PET films.” "Unlike existing polyimide films and tempered glass-type materials, the cover window that applied LG Chem's new coating technologies will maximize flexibility, while also providing optimized solutions for foldable phones such as making improvements to chronic issues like fold impressions on the ...

Flexible washable wearable microgrid that can store energy from the human body
Nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego published a Nature Communications paper "A self-sustainable wearable multi-modular E-textile bioenergy microgrid system", in which they have developed a "wearable microgrid" that harvests and stores energy from the human body to power small electronics. The wearable microgrid consists of three main parts: sweat-powered biofuel cells, motion-powered devices called triboelectric generators, and energy-storing supercapacitors. All parts are flexible, washable, and can be screen printed onto clothing. “Despite the fast development of various energy harvesting and storage devices, their judicious integration into efficient, autonomous, and sustainable wearable systems has not been widely explored. Here, we introduce the concept and design principles of e-textile microgrids by demonstrating a multi-module bioenergy microgrid system. Unlike earlier hybrid wearable systems, the presented e-textile microgrid relies solely on human activity to work synergistically, harvesting biochemical and biomechanical energy using sweat-based biofuel cells and triboelectric generators, and regulating the harvested energy via supercapacitors for high-power output. Through energy budgeting, the e-textile system can efficiently power liquid crystal displays continuously or a sweat sensor-electrochromic display system in pulsed sessions, with half the booting time and triple the runtime in a 10-min exercise session. Implementing “compatible form f...

Challenges & Opportunities of AM in Passive Electronic Industry – A Practical Approach on Materials,
Designs and Manufacturing Speaker: Christoph Voelcker | Company: Wuerth | Date: 11-12 May 2021 | Full Presentation The electronics industry has the potential to be an attractive market for the additive industry and wants to be conquered. To put it somewhat provocatively, this is currently happening more on the part of the AM than on the part of the electronics industry - although there are many large overlaps here. Small components, sustainability, free geometries, specific customer solutions, sensors and antennas, Industry 4.0...just to name a few. But how easy is the fusion of the two industries really? What hurdles have to be overcome, what challenges are ahead and what opportunities are opening up? The presentation will give an insight into the methods and projects from practice at Würth Elektronik eiSos and is intended to create incentives to go new ways.

BrightLeave™ Perovskite QD Films As X-ray Scintillators
Speaker: Behzad Shirmardi | Company: BrightComSol GmbH | Date: 12 May 2021 | Full Presentation Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) can improve applications from displays to scintillators because of their superior light-emitting properties compared to classical quantum dots. Standing in the way of these applications is the difficulty to process PQDs into devices, especially into the polymer thin films used in displays and scintillators, without losing their unique properties. BrightComSol presents BrightLeaf™, a flexible perovskite-based scintillator based on a new resin, BrightSplash™. Our resin allows for the efficient processing of PQD flexible films at low and high loading. We share recent highlights of using BrightLeaf™ for high-resolution X-ray imaging.
