In the race for ever thinner displays for TVs, cell phones and other gadgets, Sony may have developed one to beat them all - a razor-thin display that bends like paper while showing full-colour video.
Sony Corporation posted video of the new 2.5 inch display on its' web page.
In the video, a hand squeezes the 0.3 millimetre (0.01 inch)-thick display, which shows color video of a bicyclist stuntman, a picturesque lake and other images.
The article indicates:
Although flat-panel TVs are getting slimmer, a display that's so thin it bends in a human hand marks a breakthrough.
Sony said plans for a commercial product using the technology were still undecided.
"'In the future, it could get wrapped around a lamppost or a person's wrist, even worn as clothing,'" said Sony spokesman Chisato Kitsukawa. "'Perhaps it can be put up like wallpaper.'"
Cheers,
