Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions.

This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby.

Random news from the Archive IPS display with a contrast ratio of more than 1000000:1 23.11.2016 Panasonic Liquid Crystal Display, a subsidiary of Panasonic, has announced the development of an IPS-type liquid crystal display with a contrast ratio of over 1:000. This is 000 times the contrast of existing LCD panels. The maximum display brightness is 1 cd/m600. The integration of "cells that modulate the flow of light" into the panel made it possible to obtain high contrast. Operating on the principle of liquid crystals, these cells provide backlight brightness control at the level of individual pixels. As a result, it becomes possible to transmit both maximum image brightness and deep blacks. According to the manufacturer, the new display is well suited for studio monitors with HDR support, as well as for medical equipment and car dashboards. The company considers the possibility of using existing production lines to the advantages of the development. Sample shipments of the new displays should begin in January 2017.
