High‐Brightness and High‐Resolution Triboelectrification‐Induced Electroluminescence Skin for Photonic Imaging and Information Interaction

Abstract

Abstract Self‐powered visualized sensor with skin‐like functionality is highly anticipated for practical application in health monitoring, human‐machine interaction, and robotics. However, the existing methods are disadvantaged by their poor performance in sensitivity and spatial fidelity due to the low pixel density, brightness, or conformability. Herein, a novel self‐powered skin‐inspired visualized sensor (SP‐SIVS) is developed by means of triboelectrification‐induced electroluminescence (TIEL) technique. By integrating surface and bulk charge generation with a high‐voltage corona charging treatment, a significant improvement is achieved in the brightness (by 10‐fold) and spatial resolution (100 µm) of the SP‐SIVS. Meanwhile, Young's modulus (94 kPa) is maintained at a level comparable to human skin, with tensile strength and elongation exceeding 1000 kPa and 1000%, respectively. Furthermore, SP‐SIVS is verified as applicable to serve such purposes as wearable motion detection, fingerprint morphology imaging, and information interaction. This work contributes an innovative framework to the development of SP‐SIVS with high‐brightness, high‐resolution, and sustainability, laying a foundation for its popularization as a novel interactive medium required for advanced photonic applications.
