Nowadays, it is crucial to have ultra-portable devices as people instantaneously need to be updated with the latest information available in the vast web. This has strongly contributed to the demand growth for wearable and transparent displays.
Not surprisingly such devices have already been previously developed. The problem with these gadgets is that they usually have low transparency and poor electrical performance. At least until recently. A research team from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), successfully overcame this obstacle!
Professors Keon Jae Lee and Sang-Hee Ko Park, together with their research team from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at KAIST, have developed an ultra-thin and transparent oxide thin-film transistors (TFT). This has enabled the team to have an active-matrix back-plane of a flexible display by using the inorganic-based laser lift-off method.
