With the advancement of infrared modulation technologies, infrared display devices have attracted increasing attention. Previous studies have mainly focused on the response time of infrared display devices and have achieved great success. Nevertheless, owing to the restricted material properties or modulation approaches, the response time of the majority of infrared modulating devices remains trapped at level for a few seconds. In this paper, we fabricated an infrared images display device based on lithium-ion intercalated multilayer graphene (MLG). By changing the lithium-ion content and current value, we had successfully improved its response time from approximately 140,000 ms to around 6 ms.Meanwhile, its absorbance also has significant changes within 0.8–1.8 μm (∼75 %–∼25 %) and 2.5–25 μm (∼45 %–∼2 %). In addition, multi-pixel infrared display unit has been realized on a flexible substrate. The letters "N, U, and C″ were dynamically displayed continuously at 3∗3 pixels by controlling lithium-ions intercalate MLG state. Our work is expected to provide theoretical and technological support for ultrafast flexible dynamic infrared display devices.
Thermoelectric (TE) devices exhibit considerable application potential in Internet of Things and personal health monitoring systems. However, TE self-powered devices are expensive and their fabrication process is complex. Therefore, large-scale preparation of the TE devices remains challenging. In this work, simple screen-printing technology is used to fabricate a user-friendly and high-performance paper-based TE device, which can be used in both stamp-like paper-based TE generators and infrared displays. When used as a paper-based TE generator, an output power of 940.8 µW is achieved with a temperature difference of 40 K. The programmable infrared pattern based on the TE array display could be used to realize encryption and anti-counterfeiting properties. Moreover, a visual extraction algorithm is used to develop a mobile application for processing and decoding the infrared quick response code information. These findings offer an exciting approach to using paper-based TEGs in applications such as energy harvesting devices, optical encryption, anti-counterfeiting, and dynamic infrared display.
