Project description
Novel photonic interactive display solution
Current interactive digital whiteboard (IDW) offers are prohibitively expensive for sizes +80”, and existing touch-screen technologies are slow in their response times. Additionally, there is no adequate solution for schools within their limited budgets. The EU-funded NANODINK project will introduce an affordable high-performance IDW which consists of an invisible photonic nano-layer applied to a +80” sized TV front screen. When combined with an optical pen, the technology allows the screen to exhibit touch-like behaviour, and it becomes a large IDW. NANODINK technology is environmentally friendly as it eliminates the use of Indium and shows a reduced carbon footprint in its manufacturing process.
Objective
Hand-script is immediate, freeform and uniquely personal to each of us which makes it ideal to express their creativity. The feature has been incorporated as an innovative input method in digital devices such as smart phones, tablets, notebooks and TVs through Digital Inking. However, enabling hand-script digitalisation in existing smartphones, tablets and notebooks requires the use of the multi-touch screen feature, which is fully dependant on device battery. Activating the hand-script digitalisation causes a sharp rise in battery consumption and induces reduced device autonomy, reduced battery life and overheating of the battery. In addition to that, enabling the feature in large displays such TVs and digital whiteboards requires several additional manufacturing steps ranging from material coating to electrical circuitry and control electronics. These additional steps are cost intensive which increases the overall cost of the large displays (entry price ~5k USD for 55” digital whiteboard.
NANOGA is cognizant of these problems and is introducing a digital ink solution, (NANOGA Digital Layer) that will enable digital hand-scripting on smartphones, tablets, notebooks and TVs that is derived from a universal anti-counterfeiting technology that we developed to fit into all manufactured luxury watches (DNAwatch). The technology comprises of a fully transparent passive quantum nano-layer embedded in the inner side of a device screen glass and a UV-enabled stylus to manipulate the ink. Our digital ink will have fewer material process steps and excludes any circuitry and electronics post-processing, enabling hand-script digitalization in all display devices without any design/manufacturing. The cover glass has zero impact on device battery, increasing the battery cycle time by more than 30%. A reduction in the production cost will reduce the price of devices by the following factors; smartphones (>5 in) ~25%, tablets (>10 in) ~50%, large displays (>55 in) ~75%.
