A research team in South Korea are working hard to try and develop a textile display that can be machine washable. The best thing about this is that it is going to be completely powered by solar energy. Kyung Cheol Choi has graduated from the School of Electrical Engineering and that he is using his knowledge from this time to power his experiment. He has also stated that his team are wearing their modules and they are based on real textiles too. This is going to use integrated polymer solar cells, which have OLEDS built into them.
When you look at what KAIST have said, you will soon see that PSC is one of the most promising candidates. Those who work in technical recruitment will know what this means for the industry. Of course, if you work in engineering recruitment you will see that OLEDS can be driven by milliwatts. A major barrier for this is that they are very vulnerable to oxygen and even external moisture. Of course, they are doing everything they can to tackle this issue and that is why they are using a washable encapsulation barrier. This is going to give the device some kind of protection without making the device lose out on any characteristics. It also shows very little change in the device even after 20 different washes. The cycles were done at 10 minutes each and they also include OLEDS and even PSCS too.
Finally it has been shown that the device has not deteriorated at all and this is even after it has been washed time and time again. It has been put up against washing and stress, and this really just goes to show that it has made incredible progress so far.
