Nokia’s research division is working on a study into the use of graphene, a much lighter and stronger material than up to now in electronics is used. Nokia wants to graphene in the future phones are going to use.
Graphene should, inter alia, flexible phones, says Nokia. This is the screen of a phone does not determine the size of the device, bigger screens in phones. In addition, graphene is many times stronger than steel. How graphene will be used in phones is unclear.
Graphene has been for several years a promising material. The unique properties of graphene, including the very good mobility of electrons in the kippengaasstructuur and the high degree of transparency to light, creating a wide scope for graphene. A Dutchman got last year the Nobel prize for the discovery of graphene.
Nokia’s research division is experimenting a lot with new materials and techniques, but mostly to achieve, which techniques are not or only years later, and phones that are really on the market. It is unclear when Nokia think phones with graphene issue. Earlier, the Finnish manufacturer already with the Morph of how such a phone could look like.
Bendable phones are probably the next big step in the telecom industry. Last week it was already clear that Samsung next year phones with flexible screens don’t want to release. Those screens are also much stronger than current touchscreens. Bendable screens based on amoled technology.
Nokia shows next week its next smartphone, which the market must dislocate’, reports iTWire. That is probably not a phone with graphene, but to the N9 or N950, the first smartphone with the Linux-based OS MeeGo. There are few details known about the phone, although there are a lot of rumors.
