Researchers have created the world's first completely transparent, flexible optical sensor. It is based on a polymer film that is saturated with fluorescent particles. This polymer absorbs light of a certain frequency waves, and re-emits it along the external borders of the film, where it captured a linear array of optical sensors.
Based on the testimony of these sensors the computer builds an image. Prototype created by scientists working in low resolution - only 32x32, but does not require a high end sensor photodiodes, and power electronics for signal processing. The most obvious use case of this design is a transparent user interface applied to a TV screen or monitor, or mobile device. Related Products :
