Flexible screen technology will make screens much more intuitive tactile and user-friendly. Below is a clip which demonstrates the process that is used in the making of the flexible screen technology.
In the video the creator “David James” Talks about its application in terms of newspapers updating it. This type of software could also have applications in a much wider sense from the sciences, media to entertainment.
Below is a snippet taken from the Zdnet site, which has all the latest information in technology development: (www.zdnet.co.uk)
HP unveils paper-thin flexible screen technology:
"There are many different techniques here, and we had to make them all work together," said Robson. "We could go to market with what we've got, there's no killer issue yet to solve. We've solved the science". However, he said that the current technology was transmissive - it needed a backlight -- and reflective displays that worked in ambient lighting had many advantages. "We're working on that, but we're not going to tell you about it yet", he said. "Commercial products are probably in the middle of the three to eight year time zone". Costs were similar to existing LCDs for small displays, he said, but HP's technology scaled up to very large displays with much lower projected increases. (news.zdnet.co.uk/emergingtech)
It opens up a whole new range of possibilities for the future. Today's flat panel displays are made on heavy, inflexible glass that can break during transportation and installation.
