Nano-printing is wonderful for you

Can you imagine what happens when you create products with atoms? The answer can be imagined and miracles will occur.

Tens of thousands of newspapers rolled into the pocket

In the science and technology laboratory in Shanghai, computer monitors can no longer be described as "thin". In fact, it is difficult to see the actual display with the naked eye. This display is less than one-tenth of a millimeter thick and completely transparent. . Only because of the plastic film sandwiched on both sides, people can see.

That's right, this is what the nano-luminescent materials do. “In the future, we are not talking about computer screens and televisions are too thick, but how we can do it will not be too thin,” said Xiao Xu, director of the New Material Development Center of the Municipal Science and Technology Commission. The flexible OLED lighting source is thinner and lighter than other lighting sources, and the entire device is less than 1.5 mm.

Such a display can also be made into a "newspaper" that can be carried around.

In the lab, the thinnest flexible electronic display is only a few tenths of a millimeter thick. Unlike LCD screens that cannot be pressed heavily, flexible displays can be rolled into a shaft and placed in the space of the pen cap and put into the jacket pocket. The size of the monitor can also be like a "newspaper" in the size of the "Beijing Evening News". When you need to read the newspaper, you can pull the scroll off. Connected to USB or the Internet, even the contents of thousands of newspapers can be displayed in front of real newspapers.

Engineers told reporters that such a flexible display will be put into mass production in 2014. At present, the only problem that still needs to be solved is to ensure that the protective film on the outside of the nanomaterial is not deformed when it is curled, and that one atom of the nanolayer does not displace when it is rolled up.

I believe that it will not take long, like the iPad, e-books, perhaps only chips, batteries, and finally rolled up with the monitor can take away.

The nano industry has reached 10 billion yuan

Nano products are entering our lives in ways that exceed imagination.

In addition to its own power generation, luminous windows, rolled up screens, there are nanofiber solar cells, nano-printing, water treatment and so on. Scientists make nanomaterials into countless cells that are invisible to the naked eye and are directly compounded onto flexible fibers that are less than 0.1 millimeters in diameter or even tens of micrometers in diameter. In this way, solar cells can present various forms such as solar clothes and solar home decoration, and convert solar energy into electrical energy.

“In two or three years, clothes that can be used to charge mobile phones, bicycles that can be self-illuminated, etc., will all appear in our lives,” Xiao said. According to reports, Beijing launched the "Beijing Nanotechnology Industry Jump Project" in 2012, which regards the development of the nanotechnology industry as an important support for the development of Beijing's strategic emerging industries and upgrading of traditional industries. "The development of nanotechnology will bring about major changes in the upgrading of traditional industries and the development of strategic emerging industries."

Beijing owns more than 50% of domestic nano-science and technology resources and undertakes more than 50% of the country's nano-scientific research projects. In the Huairou Yanqi Economic Development Zone, Beijing Nanometer Technology Industrial Park with a total planned area of ​​4 square kilometers has 29 landed projects. These projects have achieved sales revenue of nearly 3 billion yuan in 2012, initially forming a pattern of rapid aggregation and development of industries such as nano-green printing, nano-energy, nano-water treatment materials, and new display materials. After full production this year, the annual output value will reach 12 billion yuan.

According to Xiao Yu’s introduction, in 2015, Beijing will become a demonstration base for mass conversion of national nano-technology achievements, and the annual output value of nano-industries will exceed 20 billion. By 2020, the annual output value of the nano-industry in Beijing will exceed 50 billion yuan, bringing the related industries to an annual output value of 100 billion yuan, and become a new growth point for the capital economy.
