The clear future of electronics

[Mr. McD]

A group of scientists at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has fabricated a working computer chip that is almost completely clear -- the first of its kind. The new technology, called transparent resistive random access memory (TRRAM), is described in this week's issue of the journal Applied Physics Letters.


Why is transparency important? Clear electronics may make your room or wall more spacious by allowing electronic devices to be consolidated and stacked in small clear spaces. The technology may also enable the development of clear computer monitors and televisions that are imbedded inside glass or transparent plastic. The Korean team is also developing a TRRAM using flexible materials.

1. One more thing not invented here

:-(

2. Hmmm...this could prove interesting for cameras...

also for heads up displays in car windscreens, motorcycle visors and so on. I know there is work being done on electronic contact lens displays, even. I like hearing that it doesn't require any super-complex manufacturing or rare materials.
