World’s smallest LEDs from a new semiconductor Micro- and nano-perovskite LEDs promise a new generation of display technology 19 March 2025, Zhejiang University ‘Downscaling’, the process of making elementary devices smaller in size, is at the heart of many technological breakthroughs in computing, information display, and human-machine interactions. For example, the downscaling of transistors has accelerated the speed of computers
Contact lenses?
127000 PPI e-ink display. Allows transparency.
Needs some kind of extremely tiny body heart driven power source, WiFi chip and processor…
Closer and closer to cyberpunk era tech (and oppression)
Very creative, maybe some day. But I think it will require serious developments in other areas too. Like technologies we don’t even have yet.
we already have tiny flexible screens and the means to beam video data to it wirelessly. we also have microscopic chip litography to handle it.
But no small or translucent batteries
the obvious solution to this problem is running a convenient wire from your eyeball 🤪
don’t necessarily need one if they are power efficent enough.
How would you power them without a battery? It doesn’t matter if it’s really power efficient if it isn’t getting any power.
Wirelessly. Like an NFC tag.
Not saying it would be super practical but if you custom shaped them you could put a wire coil around all of the non seeing parts of the eye.
Just make it sodium based, and a good crying jag will replenish the battery.
you can beam tiny amounts of it ota. it just needs to be very power efficient.
im not saying it wouldnt be a challenge, but isnt solar panel tech possible here?
it just has to be really power efficient.
