(Nanowerk Information) A groundbreaking 100-inch or bigger super-sized Nano Clear Display screen (NTS) has been developed and commercialized for the primary time on the earth. This revolutionary display can regulate its transparency in accordance with the setting and could be produced at a low price, paving the best way for the widespread adoption of enormous clear screens, which till now have been prohibitively costly.
The newly developed display is anticipated to seek out functions throughout varied merchandise, resembling clear shows in shops and supermarkets, sensible home windows for buildings, and versatile clear shows appropriate for each indoor and outside promotional makes use of.
The analysis crew led by Principal Researcher Jun-Ho Jeong of the Nanolithography and Manufacturing Analysis Heart of the Korea Institute of Equipment and Supplies (KIMM) and Meta2People has succeeded within the commercialization of a 100-inch large-sized NTS whose transparency could be freely adjusted relying on the knowledge supplied by the encompassing lighting and pictures.

The NTS was put in within the outside house of the “Youth Mall” positioned in Chungju in June, and might be disclosed on the Worldwide Nanotechnology Exhibition “Nano Korea 2024,” which is the nation’s largest nanotechnology conference scheduled to be held from July 3-5, 2024 at KINTEX in Ilsan.
The NTS developed by the KIMM consists of a movie as skinny as a human hair, made by evenly dispersing titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, with a diameter of 100 nanometers, contained in the movie. When mild is emitted from the beam projector to the NTS, a really broad and clear picture, at a viewing angle of 170 levels, could be seen along with the surroundings past the clear display. Subsequently, the video on the display is seen to the viewers from each angle.
Furthermore, the NTS developed by the KIMM’s analysis crew could be overlapped with a Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal(PDLC) movie. When the brightness of the ambient mild requires adjustment or when detailed pictures should be projected, the transparency of the PDLC movie could be lowered to supply clearer pictures.
The worth of a traditional 100-inch clear Natural Gentle-Emitting Diode (OLED) display is over KRW 100 million (about USD 70 000), which is just too costly for normal shoppers to afford, whereas clear Gentle-Emitting Diode (LED) has not been broadly used resulting from its low decision.

NTSs could be mass-produced by a roll-to-roll course of, they are often equipped to the market at round 10 % of the worth of clear OLED screens. These screens are additionally able to producing clear pictures with out lack of decision through the use of the very best decision beam projector.
Moreover, the traits of NTS s associated to mild not often change in excessive and low temperature environments, making it potential to fabricate 100-inch or bigger clear screens within the type of light-weighted and versatile movies.
Furthermore, as NTSs usually are not affected by antagonistic climate circumstances resembling excessive chilly or warmth waves, these screens are appropriate for indoor in addition to outside set up.
Principal Researcher Jun-Ho Jeong of the KIMM commented, “The technology for manufacturing NTSs is a cutting-edge, innovative technology created through the combination of nanomaterials and nanomanufacturing technology with existing IT technologies.” He added, “Going forward, we will focus on research and development to continuously improve the quality of NTSs and lead the popularization of transparent screens.”
President Seog-Hyeon Ryu of the KIMM remarked, “This research is substantially meaningful in that the KIMM has successfully commercialized its technology jointly with a research institute spin-off company established through the KIMM’s investment of its original patented technology.” President Ryu additionally stated, “We will continue to devote ourselves to the development of technologies that can contribute to the development of national strategic technologies and also to the revitalization of local economies.”
