▎ 摘  要

A tactile display is an important tool to help humans interact with machines by using touch. In this paper, we present a transparent and stretchable graphene-based actuator for advanced tactile displays. The proposed actuator is composed of transparent and compliant graphene electrodes and a dielectric elastomer substrate. Since the electrode is coated onto the appointed region of the substrate layer by layer, only the area of the dielectric elastomer substrate with electrodes bumps up in response to the input voltage, which consequently produces actuation. The actuator is proven to be operable while preserving its electrical and mechanical properties even under 25% stretching. Also, the simple fabrication of the proposed actuator is cost-effective and can easily be extended to multiple arrays. The actuator is expected to be applicable to various applications including tactile displays, vari-focal lenses etc.
