Abstract:
Future electronics devices with the capability of high-speed wireless communication will increasingly rely on the implementation of efficient and intelligent antennas.
However, conventional wireless communication systems for small wireless electronics devices suffer from low radiation efficiencies of miniaturized antennas implemented within less-than ideal locations and real estates.
This talk introduces the original concept of utilizing the entire transparent region of high resolution OLED touch displays to render an antenna that is completely invisible to the human eye. A transverse magnetic resonant mode antenna is formulated based on transparent conductive polymers, which are precisely realized using meso-scale formation of electromagnetic boundary conditions.
A transparent antenna film that can be integrated inside an OLED touch display and feature efficient radiation properties at microwave frequency will be discussed in detail. The presented theory and measurement studies of the fabricated prototype inspires a prospect of a broader range of future microwave optoelectronics.
