Using Nanowires for Display Screens (Display Technology) Posted by: Site Administration
Researchers at the University of Illinois in Urbana Champaign have developed a simple process to grow upright copper nanowires on different surfaces. Such fields of vertical nanotubes are perfect for display systems, where each nanotube conducts single electron streams up to phosphor particles on the screen, creating extremely high fidelity displays. Such are known as field-emission displays. posted: 07/05/2008 Full Posting & Permanant Link
