Sony Showcases Rollable, Flexible Screen

sonyRollable-Screen-0610At the Society for Information Display International Symposium in Seattle last month, Sony’s R&D labs showed a rollable organic screen, tiny enough for cell phone or movie display. You can roll it up and slip it into your pocket.

The display, made up of organic thin-film transistors, is about 4″ wide and functional when flat or rolled-up. This Sony screen offers a resolution of 432×240 pixels, about what other mobile phone screens do today.

This moves display tech closer to the exploding world of mobile gadgets. We can already see prototypes of pcs/gadgets that can wrap around your wrist or reside in your clothing. But the power of flexible screens goes far beyond novelty and it seems inevitable that displays must go as mobile as the rest of technology.

‘Nuff said. Let’s watch the video and see if the quality is half as good as Sony says: http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/201005/10-070E/index.html
