The exceptional properties of graphene make it attractive for applications in flexible electronics.
What is Graphene?
Graphene is an allotrope of carbon, whose structure is one-atom-thick planar sheet of carbon atoms that are packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice. This is most easily visualized as an atomic-scale chicken wire made of carbon atoms and their bonds.
Graphene has a variety of properties which can only be described by superlatives. It is the thinnest, the strongest and yet flexible transparent material, impermeable to gases, an outstanding electricity and heat conductor with remarkable stiffness and lightness. Thus graphene is truly a promising building block for future solid state electronic devices, chemical and biological sensors, flexible displays and other innovative applications.
Graphene in Flexible Displays
Driven by demand from markets where advanced materials are required, graphene promises to outstrip all current nanomaterials, especially in electronics applications. Revenues for smartphones and tablets now outstrip the entire consumer electronics (CE) market, with revenues of over $325 billion in 2013. Graphene will drive the next generation of transparent conductive films for displays.
