INTRODUCTION

 The“ Nokia Morph” is a nanotechnology driven mobile phone created by finnish company Nokia.  Morph demonstrates how future mobile devices might be transformable, flexible, transparent and self cleaning.

HISTORY

 The concept of NOKIA MORPH has been introduced to the global world at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City from February 24 to May 12 of 2008 as part of the "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibition.  The concept emerged through collaboration between Nokia Research center and Cambridge Nanoscience Center. Cambridge University Nanoscience Center

TECHNOLOGY

Nanotechnology Study of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Deals with devices possessing atleast one dimension size from 1 to 100 nm. Allows control of nanostructures.

ASSUME TRANSISTORS ON A HAIR…  Nanostructure of morph is similar to this. NANOGRASS, NANOSENSORS, NANOFLOWERS, NANOSCALE MESH…etc ARE THE NANOTECHNOLOGIES USED INSIDE NOKIA MORPH.

Features: 1) Sensing 2) Haptic Surface 3) Self-cleaning 4) Flexible and transformable. 5) Transparent Electronics 6) Wearable Device

1. SENSING Nanosensors can Analyse air pollution. Temperature Detect bio chemical traces. To improve sensor and signal processing capabilities,Nokia introduced Nanowire Lithography.

ECO SENSOR CONCEPT ECOSENSOR CONCEPT CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS: 1) A Wearable sensor unit that can analyze local environment as well as persons health. 2) Built-in solar absorption might charge a device, long lasting and fast.

NANOGRASS is used for harvesting solar power. Dye sensitized solar cell(DSSC ) - act as photovoltaics NANOGRASS

2. HAPTIC SURFACE:APTIC SURFACE Touch sensitive and responsive [haptic] surface is provided by piezoelectric nanowire arrays. Buttons on the device surface are real 3D forms.

3. SELF CLEANING: The surface of morph is superhydrophobic that makes it extremely dirt repellent. Nanostructured surface known as nanoflowers that naturally repel water, dirt and even finger-prints is used here. NANO FLOWER A water droplet beads up on a lotus leaf due to the hydrophobic nanostructures.

4. FLEXIBLE & TRANSFORMABLE: The nanoscale structure of the electronics enables stretching. T his elasticity enables the device to literally change shapes and configure itself to adapt to the task at hand. Nanoscale internal structures controls the elasticity.

STRENGTH OF SPIDER SILK spider silk controls the stretching Fibril proteins are woven into a three dimensional mesh that reinforces thin elastic structures.

5. TRANSPARENT ELECTRONICS  The whole electronic circuit inside NOKIA morph is entirely transparent.  Nanoscale electronics becomes invisible to the human eye.

TRRAM Transparent Resistive Random Access Memory (TRRAM) is the major platform for the transparent electronics concept of morph. TRRAM records data by changing the resistance of Resistive Ram. TRRAM + Transparent electronic components = complete transparency. KAIST’S TRRAM

6. WEARABLE DEVICE Can be used as a watch or a band.

LIMITATIONS  THE INITIAL MANUFACTURING COST IS VERY HIGH.  THE EXPECTED MARKET PRICE IS AROUND Rs 60000/-.  CONVENTIONAL DSSCs PROVIDES UNSTABILITY.

FUTURE SCOPE  THE SHAPES COULD BE MADE MUCH MORE SIMPLER LIKE IN RING SHAPE.  MORPH IN OPEN MODE COULD ACT AS A KEYBOARD FOR PC’s.

REFERENCES

CONCLUSION The integrated electronics shown in the Morph concept could cost less and include more functionality in a much smaller space, even as interfaces are simplified and usability is enhanced. All of these new capabilities will unleash new applications and services that will allow us to communicate and interact in unprecedented ways.
