Oh, yeah – this is awesome. The particulars (relatively low-res, static images only, monochrome, etc.) betray this as a first generation product, but you gotta start someplace. Polymer Vision<\/a> has lightweight \/ flexible \/ rollable \/ low-power display technology available now<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

Specifications: “In brief, rollable displays combine active-matrix polymer electronics (which drive the display) with a reflective %u2018electronic ink%u2019 front plane (the surface the user sees), which are mounted on an ultra-thin plastic \/ organic substrate. As the back plane is just 25 microns thick and the front plane 75 microns, the total display is as thick as a sheet of paper.<\/p>\n

Importantly, the displays have a high resolution (85 dpi) and the technology used in the front plane ensures a highly attractive paper-like quality, as well as a far wider viewing angle than even the best LCD displays. So reading is easy anywhere and under any light conditions, even direct sunlight. Rollable displays are ideal for reading-intensive applications such as e-mail, e-books, -newspapers and -magazines.<\/p>\n

What%u2019s more, rollable displays offer all these advantages without decreasing the battery lifetime of mobile devices. The display technology that gives these screens their paper-like appearance is %u2018bi-stable%u2019. This means they draw power only when the image changes, so consumption is extremely low.”<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Their website has more pictures<\/a>, too. As this matures it’s going to open up a lot of very cool possibilities.<\/p>\n
