A new material and a new technology allow electronic devices to be non-eye-damaging and ultra-power-efficient, without the need to recharge for weeks of continuous use. The new polymer electrochromic material developed by the research team of Zhang Xiaoan of Jilin University allows electronic information and images to be read statically without power consumption for a long time, and only consumes a little power when the page is turned and the information is switched. On the 9th, the international top academic journal Nature-Materials published the research results.
At present, current mainstream display technologies (liquid crystal, LED, etc.) must be continuously powered to maintain images and text information. Not only does it consume a lot of power, but the strong light directly hits the human eye and retina, which hurts the eye. Existing electrochromic materials and technologies have not been able to meet the needs of high-end electronic display products in terms of color display, color changing speed, and bistable performance. The research and development achievements of Zhang Xiaoan's scientific research team have overcome these global problems and successfully built super power-saving electronic devices.
Compared with traditional materials, the new electrochromic materials developed by Zhang Xiaoan's research team have superior performance. The coloring efficiency and bistable performance have exceeded the best values of existing similar materials. The simplified production process is conducive to industrialization and Marketization. The material also has ultra-high color contrast, excellent light transmittance change and fast information switching speed, and excellent cycle reversibility. The R & D team has also developed common colors for electronic displays such as black, magenta, yellow and blue to meet the needs of multi-color displays. Because there is no problem of strong light directly into the fundus, the popularity of such electronic products can improve people's visual experience and alleviate eye problems caused by long-term electronic reading.
