HP's flexible displays

Posted by Rob Beschizza, December 10, 2008 4:51 AM | permalink

Resembling a medieval scroll, HP's flexy display prototype unravels to show a rainbow of translucent color. Claimed to be unbreakable and environmentally-friendly, it was developed at Arizona's Flexible Display Center.

We keep seeing these things turn up at trade shows, but no real products are in the immediate future. Hurry up, Future!

"Claimed to be unbreakable" sounds like a challenge to me.

I wonder what the contrast ratio is; whether they'd be a suitable replacement for OLED displays.

Unbreakable?? They should make car bumpers and airplanes out of them.

I wonder if these could become part of remaking decorative objects into work/play displays?
