FlexibleElectronics with NanoManufacturing

　　中新网5月11日电 据日本共同社援引英国科学杂志《自然材料》电子版报道，由东京大学教授染谷隆夫等组成的研究小组，日前开发出一款如橡胶板一般能够弯曲伸缩的有机EL屏幕。
　　这款有机EL屏幕为四方形，厚0.7毫米，硅酮胶基板上配置有256个约5毫米四方的薄有机EL素子。
　　据介绍，有机EL是一种通电后可发光的有机化合物，显示器可以作为薄型电视及手机的屏幕利用。此次显示器可以装置在复杂的曲面上，如果可以投入实际利用，染谷教授说：“也有可能制造出地球仪一般球形，及脸形等独特形状的机器。”

1. Flexible Electronics By William S. Wong, Alberto Salleo

Flexible-electronics is rapidly finding many main-stream applications where low-cost, ruggedness, light weight, unconventional form factors and ease of manufacturability are just some of the important advantages over their conventional rigid-substrate counterparts. Flexible Electronics: Materials and Applications surveys the materials systems and processes that are used to fabricate devices that can be employed in a wide variety of applications, including flexible flat-panel displays, medical image sensors, photovoltaics, and electronic paper. Materials discussed range from polymeric semiconductors to nanotube transparent conductors, highlighting the important characteristics of each system and their target applications. An overview of the performance benchmarks for the different materials is given in order to allow a direct comparison of these different technologies. Furthermore, the devices and processes most suitable for given applications in flexible electronics are identified.
