iPhone 6 coming with Graphene Touchscreen?
is this one more solid rumor of the iPhone 6 being a “green” phone?
The iPhone 6 is rumored to be the world’s first phone to have a graphene touchscreen. This would be a very thin environmentally friendly screen on the iPhone 6 with a very fast response time.
So what is Graphene scientifically and what does that mean for the iPhone 6?
Taken from wiki:Graphene is an allotrope of carbon, whose structure is one-atom-thick planar sheets of sp2-bonded carbon atoms that are densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice.[1] The term graphene was coined as a combination of graphite and the suffix -ene by Hanns-Peter Boehm,[2][3] who described single-layer carbon foils in 1962.[4] Graphene is most easily visualized as an atomic-scale chicken wire made of carbon atoms and their bonds. The crystalline or “flake” form of graphite consists of many graphene sheets stacked together.So essentially we can get a super thin, super light weight, environmentally conscious screen that will benefit the end user as well because of the response time. Do you think it’s possible the iPhone 6 comes with a Graphene Touchscreen?
The carbon-carbon bond length in graphene is about 0.142 nanometers.[5] Graphene sheets stack to form graphite with an interplanar spacing of 0.335 nm, which means that a stack of 3 million sheets would be only one millimeter thick. Graphene is the basic structural element of some carbon allotropes including graphite, charcoal, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. It can also be considered as an indefinitely large aromatic molecule, the limiting case of the family of flat polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
