北京时间2013年12月18日消息，宝威科技网讯，三星和LG准备用金属网屏代替铟锡柔性触摸面板。这不仅降低了成本，而且解决了高分辨率平板和智能手机屏幕供需问题。

　　更进一步说，使用金属网屏，三星也为柔性屏面板的发展奠定基础，未来的柔性屏面板更加多产。这也为手写笔铺平道路，因为无需嵌入数字转换。

　　用金属网取代稀有的铟，基本是一个网格型屏幕，涂上更多的银或铜。三星计划将生产价格20%-30%，但是这是否会带来平板和手机的降价仍有待观察。

　　LG上月也表示将使用金属网，只需传统面板花费三分之一的价钱，边框更少，触屏灵敏度比之前提高30%，韩国这次又走在了移动屏幕技术的最前沿。

　　外媒原文如下：

　　Samsung is prepping to replace the indium tin oxide touch panels with metal mesh ones, Korean media is reporting. Not only will this make them cheaper to produce, but also help with the supply and demand issues of high-res tablet panels and, eventually, smartphones.

　　Furthermore, with the metal mesh displays, Samsung will also be laying the groundwork for flexible display panels to become more prolific in the future, as those can bend, and also pave the way for pen stylus that doesn't need a digitizer embedded in the touchscreen, which would certainly find its way into the Note device line. By replacing the rare indium in touchscreens with the metal mesh, which is basically a grid patterned on the display, and coated with the much more widespread silver or copper, Samsung is planning to lower production prices 20 to 30% on those panels, too, but whether or not this will lead to cheaper tablets or phones, remains to be seen. For now, we are fine with the switch opening the door to flexible screens and digitizer-less devices with stylus functionality.

　　LG Innotek also demonstrated Metal Mesh touch panels last month, which cost a third of the traditional ones using indium, have much less bezel and 30% more touch sensitivity than the ones used now, so the Koreans seem to be again at the forefront of mobile screen technology.
