A new transparent metal has been developed for smartphone and TV displays

A new type of metal that’s both highly transparent and electrically conductive has been developed by researchers in the US, and at less than 5 percent the cost of current displays, it could see far cheaper smartphones in our pockets and enormous 'smart windows' in our homes. The problem with current displays is that they’re based on indium tin oxide (ITO), with more than 90 percent of the display market being wholly dependent on this material. And it’s by no means cheap.
