New UK R&D packaging will lead to paper packaging industry revolution

[China Packaging Network News] The University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom and the printing electronics company Novalia have developed a new type of paper packaging touch screen to achieve consumer and product information interaction, the invention or will lead to the packaging industry revolution.

This new paper-based packaging touch screen consists of low-cost printed circuits, inexpensive paper and LED display screens. The printed circuit is printed on the paper by printed electronics. The polymer LED display is then bonded to the paper using a conductive adhesive. Together.

At present, developers are developing touch keyboards corresponding to paper displays so that consumers can autonomously manipulate LED displays to obtain the information they need. The paper touch screen is powered by three AA batteries and the display can reach 210cd/m2.

The researchers said that this new technology has enabled the integration of plastic-based electronic technology with paper-based electronic technology and is of great significance to the multi-billion-dollar paper packaging industry. In addition to the convenience of consumers' access to product information, this new paper touch screen can help product manufacturers convey brand awareness in a more sophisticated way.
