sensor In the past, most people may not be very clear, but with the progress of science and technology, sensor applications are becoming more and more common. The most familiar application should be smart phones, which contain a variety of sensor applications. People who pay attention to government policies should also be impressed with sensors. The latest policies on the development of high-end industries in China have provisions on the field of sensors. The development of sensors is not only the focus of our country in the future, but also a development hotspot in the world. There will be new sensor technologies in the world, such as transparent sensors.
Although the sensor has developed rapidly relying on the progress of electronic technology, and the technology is developing in the direction of "small, fine and sharp", one thing that most people would never think of is the transparency of the sensor. As the name implies, transparent sensors are different from ordinary sensors in that they have transparent characteristics on the main body. Regardless of performance, at least in terms of aesthetics, such sensors are superior to traditional sensors. There is no doubt that some emerging electronic products that require transparency have greater appeal.
In fact, transparent sensors are not new products in some scientific research enterprises. Previously, a Taiwan company had launched a transparent mobile phone prototype product. The phone uses a small touch screen and a glass shell, and the frame looks rough. In addition, it is not accurate to say that it is completely transparent, because the components such as circuit boards and processors cannot be made completely transparent. But the visual impact of such a transparent mobile phone is impressive.
It can be said that the mobile phone sensors here have reached the transparent standard.
In addition, in transparency sensor On the other hand, the project supported by the US military is a further step on this basis, that is, stealth micro sensors. DARPA envisions a future where sensors become cheap, ubiquitous and transparent. It is working with researchers from Northwestern University, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and Tufts University to develop a micro sensor that can be scattered on oil spills or injected into the human body, collect data, and then disappear without trace. In addition, they can also be used for super covert reconnaissance activities, collect intelligence, and then automatically disappear from detection.
