Ink Breakthrough Heralds Bendy PC Screens 140
An anonymous reader writes "Researchers claim to have developed a type of soluble semiconductor ink which could help to make bendable computer screens a reality. Developed at Polyera and BASF Future Business, the ink carries an N-Type negative charge. Previously, semiconductor inks have only been able to carry a positive charge. The new ink can be printed onto any flexible material, including plastic and paper, using only a modified ink-jet printer."

It's possible this "could" lead to bendable screens, but the technology isn't complete enough to be used in that way.
Saying this tech could lead to bendable screens is a lot like saying that nanotubes "could lead to" a space elevator.

Why, exactly, do we need bendy computer screens?
You got the... the light... from the console... keep you... lift you up. They shine like... ... little angels...
