Exciting
breakthrough – high-performance, paper-based display technology suitable for
packaging
Professor
Streckl & Duk Young Kim's from the University of Cincinnati engineering lab,
research takes them nearer to moving pictures on packaging.
There
research is into an affordable, yet high-performance, paper-based display
technology which has demonstrated that paper could be used as a flexible host
material for an ‘electrowetting’ device. Electrowetting (EW) involves applying
an electric field to coloured droplets within a display in order to reveal
content such as type, photographs and video.
Thoughts
- this will change the way design is approached
- if there is more than one idea for the future, will progress be delayed or a more attractive option, will we become distracted
- is this a sustainable idea - it sounds to me to be a step to far, creating a extra process in the creation of a product.
