For some time now, the car manufacturer Audi has been able to convince customers with its virtual cockpit. More and more models are equipped with a 12.3-inch TFT display. There, all the necessary information (e.g. speedometer, rev counter, consumption, etc.) is presented to the driver directly in…

In 2010, the two physicists Sir Andre Geim and Sir Kostia Novoselov received the Nobel Prize in Physics. The reason for this was their groundbreaking experiment with regard to the two-dimensional material "graphene". Since then, research institutes have been springing up like mushrooms to research…

Graphene is the new wonder material for large-area flexible electronics. Particularly hard and resilient, as it is a chemical relative of diamonds, coal or the graphite of pencil leads - only better, because it conducts electricity and heat extremely well and is extremely flexible. In addition,…

Since its discovery and especially since the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics, graphene has been considered a new wonder material for electronic applications. This is because it is light, strong, almost transparent, flexible and is therefore regarded as an equivalent substitute for indium tin oxide (ITO…

As simple as the question is, the answer can be as diverse. Graphene has numerous excellent properties, as well as excellent flexibility and almost complete transparency. Due to the many advantages, the material can be used very flexibly in the first place. However, you don't have to provide all…

At the beginning of September 2016, the official starting signal was given for the "Graphene Center Dresden" (GraphD) at the Center of Excellence for Advanced Electronics "cfaed". The new graphene project at the University of Dresden is led by Professor Xinliang Feng.
TU Dresden thus also wants to…

Not only does glass look good, but it is also usually less sensitive and clearer than plastic surfaces. And the fact that glass is inevitably fragile has been confirmed as an untenable prejudice at least since Steve Jobs came onto the market with his first iPad.

Flexible electronic circuits and system packaging already exist. But unfortunately, we will have to wait a little longer for flexible, wearable devices that do without rigid materials such as ITO (indium tin oxide) for displays and touch surfaces.
The different properties of the two most commonly…
