ingredients that are used in the new method are
said to be available at a hardware store.
The indium- tin- oxide that has been newly
created absorbs 0.7 percent of light when
compared to 5 percent to 10 percent with the
standard conductive glass.a mobile phone
which has been made with this material would
consume less amount of power.
The new material that has been created by the
research team has been used in order to create
a working touchscreen like a proof- of- concept
and have applied for a patent for the technology.
The screen that has been created can be used
in LEDs, touch displays, solar cells, smart
windows, many more exceeding the smart
phones.
The lead researcher at the RMIT University Dr
Torben Daeneke has explained that the screen
that has been created can be bent and can also
be twisted by could be made far more cheaply
and efficiently rather than the touch screens that
are currently being manufactured which are said
to be slow as well as expensive.
He added saying that the battery life of the
touchscreen that is made up of the material
that has been created would be extended by at
least 10 percent and the material being turned
to two dimensional would also make it more
transparent and would allow more amount of
light to pass through.
He has also said that there exists no other way
for making the fully flexible, conductive and
transparent material other that the new liquid
metal method that has been used.
Dr Torben Daeneke had said that the
opportunities of the commercial collaboration
opportunities can be explored and can be
worked with the relevant industries in order to
bring the technology into the market.
