HP unveils paper-thin flexible screen technology – ZDNet UK News
This is a really amazing development. There are some images too. The most impressive one is probably the first image which has been unplugged for two years!
They also demonstrate a color version which offers 125 colors at the moment.
The advantages of this technology are obvious, although it isn’t (yet) fast enough for digital video. It can be used to create clever signage, smart display panels for places like airports and railway stations. Intelligent motorway signs and many other things. It will allow lower cost and better display quality.
Think how much fun it could be in airports if a late passenger announcement also included a giant photo of the passenger holding up the flight. 🙂
Maybe one day we might even have proper electronic paper. A unit as thin and light as real paper but with all of the qualities of a computer display.
