Researchers from the University of Exeter have pioneered an innovative new technique to make flexible screens more effective and efficient.A team of Engineers and Physicists from Exeter have discovered that #GraphExeter #graphene - a material adapted from the 'wonder material' graphene - can substantially improve the effectiveness of large, flat, flexible lighting.By using GraphExeter, the most transparent, lightweight and flexible material for conducting electricity, instead of pure graphene, the team have increased the brightness of flexible lights by up to almost 50 per cent.The research has also shown that using GraphExeter makes the lights 30 per cent more efficient than existing examples of flexible lighting, which are based on state-of-the-art commercial polymers.The research team believe the breakthrough could help significantly improve the viability of the next generation of flexible screens, which could be used for display screens, smartphones, wearable electronic devices, such as clothing containing computers or MP3 players.
