In 2007 Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), launch the terminal iPhone who had the best touch screen ever implemented in a smartphone, this advantage being lost by Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), only a few years later. The secret behind such accurate touch recognition is based on technologies invented by Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, But and application on screens of an indium tin oxide substance. This "magical" substance is used by the manufacturers of mobile terminals all over the world, but in a few years the materials that form it will no longer be available in sufficient quantities, so at the moment researchers are looking for substitutes for them.
Some manufacturers are already planning on incorporating ITO alternatives into their devices. Foxconn might start using carbon nanotubes in the non-Apple devices it makes by the end of 2013, and Samsung is working on prototypes that use graphene.
The main potential substitute for indium-tin oxide seems to be graphene, the studies carried out so far showing that this material offers exactly the same experience of use. Graphene is composed of a layer of carbon atoms that is one atom thick, but also of silver nano fibers that are 10.000 times thinner than human hair, can be cut to any size and are extremely flexible. In practice, the industry must change the way it builds mobile terminals, and solutions already exist, so we shouldn't worry.
