The growing need for advancement in human interface devices, such as wearables and those that can be implanted, for optical stimulation devices and others to monitor humans’ health statuses, was part of the team’s motivation to develop the new material. The display is one of the most indispensable components of such devices, and it’s the most important way we receive information from the devices.
Developing a New Material
The team focused on developing a new material that could address the limitations of current display technologies used in wearable and implantable devices. This new material needed to be flexible, biocompatible, and capable of providing high-quality visual output.
Key Features of the New Material
The new material the team developed has several important features:
* It is highly flexible, allowing it to be integrated into a variety of device form factors
* It is biocompatible, making it suitable for use in implantable devices
* It can provide high-resolution, high-contrast visual output to effectively convey information to the user
These features address many of the shortcomings of existing display technologies, paving the way for more advanced and user-friendly wearable and implantable devices.
