Berkeley Lab scientists have developed a new 3D-printable material called “supramolecular ink.” The material could enable a cheaper manufacturing process for flat-panel displays, wearable devices. and lighting technologies.

To demonstrate the material’s color tunability and photoluminescence, the researchers fabricated a thin-film display prototype from the composite ink. The resulting “alphabet movie” illustrates the application of supramolecular ink in the creation of fast-switching displays.
