New hot display technology unveiled

Hong Kong researchers have successfully developed a new breed of display that consists of a mixture of metal nanoparticles and plastic. The best part about this screen is, it is actually activated thermally, changing color like a chameleon according to the display’s current temperature. This new display boasts a much lower manufacturing cost that LCDs, and is also easier to make. Being paper thin and flexible, the range of applications for this new display is endless. Don’t get too excited though, as this new display won’t be making its way to replace your computer monitor anytime soon as it can currently display a pre-determined pattern only. Hopefully future advances will see that change with changeable thermal pixels.
