The document summarizes the theoretical Nokia Morph device concept which was presented at the Museum of Modern Art in 2008. The Morph concept demonstrates how future mobile devices could be stretchable, flexible, transparent and self-cleaning using nanotechnology. It would have sensing, haptic, self-cleaning and transparent display capabilities and use novel materials like nanograss, nanofibers and ZnO nanowires. However, the Morph would also face challenges like high initial costs, manufacturing difficulties, and material stability issues that must still be addressed.

6.  The concept of NOKIA MORPH has been introduced to
the global world at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in
New York City from February 24 to May 12 of 2008 as
part of the "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibition.
 The concept emerged through collaboration between
Nokia Research Center and Cambridge University
Nanoscience Center in the UK.
HISTORY

7. NANOTECHNOLOGY means
“The science, engineering and
technology related to the
understanding and control of
matter at the length scale of
approximately 1 to 100
nanometers”.
NANOTECHNOLOGY
allows control of physical
properties of
nanostructures and devices
with single molecule
precision.

NANOGRASS, NANOSENSORS, NANOFLOWERS, NANOSCALE MESH…etc
ARE THE NANOTECHNOLOGIES USED INSIDE NOKIA MORPH.

10. 1. SENSING
OBSERVE OUR LOCAL ENVIRONMENT THAT INCLUDES
ANALYZING POLLUTIONS ,TEMPERATURE etc.
NANOSENSORS CONSTRUCT A COMPLETE AWARNESS OF THE
USER CONTEXT –BOTH PERSONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL
ENABLING AN APPROPRIATE AND INTELLIGENT RESPONSE.
INORDER TO IMPROVE SENSOR AND SIGNAL PROCESING
CHARACTERISTICS NOKIA INTRODUCED NANOWIRE
LITHOGRAPHY (NWL) PROCESS THAT FABRICATES A LARGE
AREA AND SELF ALIGNED 3D ARCHITECTURES.

11. ECO SENSOR CONCEPT
NOKIA 3110 EVOLVE
ECOSENSOR CONCEPT
CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS
1) A WEARABLE SENSOR
UNIT THAT CAN
ANALYZE LOCAL
ENVIRONMENT AS
WELL AS PERSONS
HEALTH.
2) THE SECOND PART IS
A POWER EFFICENT
MOBILE PHONE.

12. 2. HAPTIC SURFACE
Touch sensitive and responsive [haptic] surface of NOKIA morph is provided
by large area sensing surfaces using piezoelectric nanowire arrays.
ZnO nanowires are used to produce the piezoelectric nanowire arrays.
Buttons on the device surface are real 3D forms.

nanostructures
Double roughening of a hydrophobic
surface, on the submicron and
nanometer scale, creates
superhydrophobicity.
3. SELF CLEANING
NANOFLOWER
The surface of morph is superhydrophobic that makes it extremely
dirt repellent.
Nanostructured surface known as nanoflowers that naturally repel
water, dirt and even finger-prints is used here.

17. Enhanced energy density batteries (quicker recharge ).
Polymer CNT composites with controlled conduction, nanotube
enhanced supercapacitors and nano composite solar cells etc acts as
the power sources.
Nanoenhanced dielectrics  as separator and high power capacitors.
Energy harvesting from RF
using wideband antennas and
using nano electro mechanical

4. ADVANCED POWER SOURCES

18. NANOGRASS
NANOGRASS is used for harvesting solar power.
NOKIA developed a full solid state flexible DYE
SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL (DSSC) using ZnO
Nanostructures which act as photovoltaics
For this purpose.

19. 5. STRETCHABLE ELECTRONICS
Stretchable electronics structure to allow device
form factors.
The nanoscale structure of the electronics
enables stretching.
Nanoscale internal structures controls the
elasticity.

20. NANOWIRE LITHOGRAPHY
Ni
NanoWire Lithography (NWL) uses NanoWires (NWs)
as etch masks to transfer their one-dimensional
morphology to an underlying substrate.
The method relies on electrochemical deposition and
selective chemical etching.

23. 7. WEARABLE DEVICE
 Can be used a watch or a band.

24.  THE INITIAL MANUFACTURING COST IS VERY HIGH.
 THE EXPECTED MARKET PRICE IS AROUND
Rs 60000/-.
 CONVENTIONAL DSSCs PROVIDES UNSTABILITY
RELATED TO SOLVENT LEAKAGE AND
EVAPORATION

25. THE SHAPES COULD BE MADE MUCH MORE SIMPLER LIKE IN
RING SHAPE.
MORPH IN OPEN MODE COULD ACT AS A KEYBOARD FOR
PC’s.

26. According to the developers, using nanotechnology can
lead to low cost manufacturing solutions as well as
adjustable, empowering devices, bringing us new,
versatile possibilities.
These mobile devices will be flexible, stretchable and
shape changing, so that they can be easily integrated in
our everyday routines without special adjustments on our
part.
