Super-thin screen developed
Sony has created a screen that is super-thin (it is as thin as film) and bendable. The applications for this type of thing are numerous. Electronic wallpaper, clothing, etc…
Also, portable devices would have a lot more flexibility in design. New portable electronics could get even smaller and more flexible.
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-color video.
Sony Corp released video of the new 2.5-inch display Friday. In it, a hand squeezes a display that is 0.3 millimeters, or 0.01 inch, thick. The display shows color images of a bicyclist stuntman and a picturesque lake.
Although flat-panel TVs are getting slimmer, a display that’s so thin it bends in a human hand marks a breakthrough.
