A Really Flat Flat Screen

Here’s a headline that might revolutionize what laptop computers, cell phones, and PDA’s look like in the future: Sony develops film-thin, bending display.

The prototype display is 2.5 inches in size, 0.01 inches thick, and supposedly bendable enough to be wrapped around a lamppost or someone’s wrist. It can display high-quality color images that rival existing displays. There are still problems to solve in its development, such as making the displays bigger and less expensive, but Sony’s achievement does seem to be a genuine breakthrough.

Imagine a low-power, feather-light, paper-thin color display that can be bent or dropped without damage. Amazing!
