The Chinese have learned to create e-paper from graphene

Chinese experts have developed e-paper from graphene. In the near future, this invention may revolutionize the production of displays for electronic devices, including wearable gadgets and readers. According to Chinese developers, the new material is also the easiest and strongest among all the others.

Graphene electronic paper is a joint development of Guangzhou OED Technologies and another company from Chongqing Province (Chongqing). The paper is only 0.335 nm thick, so it is ideal for creating flexible displays (but the screen can be tough if necessary). Graphene electronic paper is both a conductor of electrical current and heat. It can also be used to create brighter displays for readers.

The cost of graphene paper is not very high, due to the fact that it is produced from carbon. Traditional reading rooms (their screens) are produced using indium, a rare-earth metal. Indium is quite expensive, so the reading rooms are expensive.

In addition, on the basis of graphene, you can create and touch displays for phones. In this case, it is covered with plastic, not glass, which, again, reduces the cost of production. Smartphones with this type of screen can be made foldable and very thin. Yes, and to break the graphene display is difficult, so that smartphones will become more resistant to shocks and falls.

As for the screens for graphene-based smartphones, the commercial use of technology is still far away. But the electronic paper of a new type will go into production within a year.
