Imagine a beowulf cluster of these...

5" 320x240
10" 640x480
20" 1280x1024

5120" 327680x245760 - Almost enough for that 16 megapixel 360' panaramic shot I'm not working on.

By 2005, the rollable displays, which can now be used to read e-mail, could initially be used in military applications as electronic, updatable maps on the battlefield, van Rens predicted. The monochrome display offers four gray levels.

Soldier 2: Just a sec... SHIT!
Soldier 1: What?!?
Soldier 2: Got to reboot the map... got a grey screen of death!
