Flexible Display and Wearable Technology: All-in-One Computer Touch Screen Reconstructing the "Third Interface" of Human-Computer Interaction
In the emergency department of a top-tier hospital in Shenzhen, a nurse's smart bracelet suddenly vibrates, and its screen automatically displays a red alert—the heart rate of the patient in Bed 3 has plummeted to 40 beats per minute. Simultaneously, on the 10.1-inch touch screen of the all-in-one computer touch screen at the nurse's station, the patient's vital sign curves flash in sync, and the AI algorithm immediately recommends an emergency response plan: "Administer 1 mg of intravenous atropine immediately and prepare the defibrillator." Behind this race against time lies the deep integration of flexible display technology and wearable devices, along with the real-time scheduling capabilities of the all-in-one computer touch screen as the "nerve center." When the flexibility of flexible screens meets the portability of wearable devices, and when the edge computing of the all-in-one computer touch screen forms a closed loop with cloud collaboration, a revolution in human-computer interaction is reshaping the underlying logic of industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and consumer markets.

1. Flexible Display: A Technological Breakthrough from "Rigid Shackles" to "Natural Extension"
   Traditional display technologies have been constrained by the rigidity of glass substrates, making it difficult to break through the physical boundaries of "planar interaction." The emergence of flexible display technology, through the use of novel substrate materials such as polyimide (PI) and leveraging the self-emissive properties of OLEDs, has enabled screens to bend, fold, and even roll. This breakthrough not only addresses the form-factor adaptation challenges of wearable devices but also redefines the "naturalness" of human-computer interaction.
   1.1 Morphological Revolution: From "Device Adaptation" to "Device Definition"
   Flexible display technology is driving wearable devices from "functional add-ons" to "morphological innovations." For example, the "Future Canvas" project, a collaboration between Royole and Louis Vuitton, embeds flexible screens into bag fabrics, allowing users to browse photos, reply to messages, and even make payments through the bag's screen. This "unobtrusive" interaction transforms devices from tools into extensions of the human body. In the medical field, BOE's 30.9-inch professional medical diagnostic display, featuring a flexible substrate for curved fitting, enables doctors to obtain panoramic images without adjusting their viewing angle during surgery, improving surgical efficiency by 30%.
   1.2 Performance Breakthrough: Overcoming Technical Challenges from "Usability" to "Optimal Performance"
   Early applications of flexible displays faced challenges such as short lifespans and color distortion. BOE's f-OLED technology has extended the folding lifespan to over 1 million cycles while achieving a 1 ms response time and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage. In the wearable device sector, the flexible screen used in Honor's Magic series foldable phones employs a multi-segment folding design, maintaining a 6.8-inch main screen while keeping the thickness at 8.9 mm and the weight at just 298 grams, effectively breaking the industry pain point of "large screen = bulky."
   1.3 Scene Expansion: Cross-Industry Penetration from "Consumer Electronics" to "Professional Fields"
   Flexible display technology is extending beyond consumer markets like smartphones and smartwatches into professional fields such as healthcare, manufacturing, and transportation. In the automotive sector, Airbus' collaboration with Royole on fully flexible cabin screens has reduced weight by 60% compared to traditional LCD screens, saving over $100,000 in fuel costs per aircraft annually. In industrial settings, flexible screens can be embedded into safety helmets and work uniforms to display real-time operational instructions and danger warnings, eliminating the need for workers to frequently check their phones or fixed terminals.
2. Wearable Technology: Value Upgrade from "Data Collector" to "Health Steward"
   The core value of wearable devices lies in connecting the human body to the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling real-time collection and analysis of physiological, environmental, and behavioral data. With the integration of flexible displays, low-power communication, and AI algorithms, wearable devices are evolving from "data recording tools" to "proactive health managers."
   2.1 Health Monitoring: From "Single-Point Detection" to "Full-Cycle Management"
   Traditional wearable devices primarily focus on basic metrics like heart rate and step count, while breakthroughs in flexible sensing technology have significantly expanded monitoring dimensions. For example, Royole's RoWrite smart notebook uses a flexible pressure sensor array to recognize writing pressure and stroke order, providing hand tremor analysis data for Parkinson's patients. In medical-grade scenarios, a South Korean research team developed smart contact lenses that use glucose sensors in tears and flexible LED displays for non-invasive blood glucose monitoring and drug delivery control, offering 24/7 health protection for diabetics.
   2.2 Emergency Response: From "Post-Event Alarm" to "In-Event Intervention" Intelligent Prevention and Control
   The integration of wearable devices and all-in-one computer touch screens is constructing a "device-edge-cloud" three-tier emergency response system. For instance, the USR-SH800 all-in-one computer touch screen, with its built-in WukongEdge edge computing platform, can analyze real-time data from smart bracelets, health monitoring patches, and other devices. When abnormal heart rates are detected, the all-in-one screen immediately triggers a triple response: local audible and visual alarms, notifications to healthcare providers' mobile apps, and automatic adjustment of ward equipment parameters (e.g., activating emergency oxygen valves). Tests at a top-tier hospital showed that this system increased the success rate of cardiac arrest resuscitation from 72% to 89%.
   2.3 Industrial Safety: From "Passive Protection" to "Proactive Warning" Paradigm Shift
   In high-risk industries like power and chemicals, wearable devices are becoming workers' "digital armor." For example, smart safety helmets based on LoRa communication integrate flexible displays, gas sensors, and positioning modules to display real-time data on environmental oxygen levels and toxic gas concentrations. When dangers are detected, the helmets flash red warnings on their flexible screens and send alerts to USR-SH800 all-in-one screens. A power company's implementation demonstrated a 65% reduction in workplace accidents and an 80% decrease in emergency response times.
3. All-in-One Computer Touch Screen: Ecological Reconstruction from "Information Hub" to "Scene Commander"
   As the "central brain" of flexible display and wearable technologies, the all-in-one computer touch screen enables a leap from "data display" to "scene control" through edge computing, AI algorithms, and multi-protocol adaptation. Its core value lies in constructing a closed-loop system of "perception-decision-execution."
   3.1 Edge Computing: Enabling Faster Decision-Making
   In traditional IoT architectures, data must be uploaded to the cloud for processing, causing response delays. The USR-SH800 all-in-one screen, equipped with an RK3568 chip and 1.0 TOPS AI computing power, can complete over 90% of data processing tasks locally. For example, in smart transportation scenarios, the all-in-one screen achieves 99.7% accuracy in license plate recognition and a response time of <200 ms for violation detection, far surpassing cloud-based solutions. In healthcare, its supported OpenPLC programming function can directly control backup ventilator activation for seamless switching during failures.
   3.2 Multi-Protocol Adaptation: Breaking Down the "Babel Tower" of Device Communication
   Smart cities involve dozens of industrial protocols such as Modbus, OPC UA, and BACnet, creating long-standing "language barrier" challenges for device interconnection. The USR-SH800's built-in WukongEdge platform integrates over 100 industrial protocol libraries, enabling seamless integration of PLCs, sensors, cameras, and other devices. In a smart park project, the all-in-one screen simultaneously connected 200 air conditioning units (Modbus protocol), 50 elevator control systems (OPC UA), and 300 environmental sensors (LoRa), improving energy management efficiency by 30% and reducing equipment fault detection times by 75%.
   3.3 Dynamic Configuration: Enabling "What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get" Management
   Traditional industrial configuration software requires professional engineers to write code, whereas the USR-SH800's Web-based configuration tool supports drag-and-drop interface design, allowing engineers to build visual dashboards for pump status and pipeline pressure data in just two hours. More critically, configuration elements can be dynamically linked to equipment status—when abnormal pipeline pressure is detected in a specific area, the corresponding pipeline icon immediately turns red and flashes an alarm. Qingdao's smart city platform used the all-in-one screen's dynamic configuration capabilities to integrate 12 categories of indicators, including energy consumption and environmental quality, into a "city health" dashboard, enabling managers to visually identify operational weaknesses.
4. Future Outlook: The Ultimate Leap from "Human-Computer Interaction" to "Human-Machine Symbiosis"
   The integration of flexible displays, wearable technologies, and all-in-one computer touch screens is driving human-computer interaction toward "unobtrusive," "intelligent," and "scenario-based" evolution. Over the next three years, three major trends will reshape industry landscapes:
   4.1 Material Revolution: Self-Healing, Biodegradable Flexible Substrates
   Companies like BOE are developing polyurethane substrates with self-healing capabilities that can automatically repair screen scratches, extending device lifespans. Meanwhile, breakthroughs in biodegradable flexible materials will address electronic waste pollution, promoting green industry transformation.
   4.2 Interaction Revolution: The Fusion of Brain-Computer Interfaces and Flexible Displays
   Companies like Neuralink have achieved direct interaction between brainwaves and digital devices. In the future, flexible display technology may be integrated into brain-computer interface devices, enabling "thought-controlled" interactions through visual feedback. For example, paralyzed patients could control exoskeleton robots to walk using operation instructions displayed on flexible screens.
   4.3 Ecological Revolution: From "Device Interconnection" to "Scenario Interconnection"
   All-in-one computer touch screens will evolve into "scenario operating systems," integrating flexible displays, wearable devices, smart homes, and other terminals to construct a comprehensive smart ecosystem for "work-life-health" scenarios. For instance, in smart office settings, the all-in-one screen could automatically recognize employee identities, adjust conference room lighting and temperature, and push meeting agendas via flexible wristbands. In home scenarios, it could coordinate smart refrigerators, flexible screen curtains, and other devices for "unobtrusive" health management.
   From life-saving emergency responses in emergency departments to intelligent control in industrial parks, from health monitoring via smart bracelets to futuristic brain-computer interface imaginations, flexible displays and wearable technologies are reconstructing the underlying logic of human-computer interaction. As the all-in-one computer touch screen becomes a "digital bridge" connecting the virtual and physical worlds, devices and scenarios, we stand on the threshold of a new era of "intelligent symbiosis between humans and machines." The ultimate goal of this revolution is not to make technology more powerful but to make it more "invisible"—like air and water, becoming an invisible infrastructure supporting human civilization's progress.
