New Sony OLED Display Can Roll Into Cylinder

Anarki2004 writes "Sony recently debuted its latest in OLED technology: a 4.1-inch screen that's only 80 microns thick. The super-flexible display can roll up into a cylinder just 4mm in diameter while still showing moving images at 432×240 resolution. Instead of brittle integrated circuit chips, the screen has an on-panel gate-driven circuit — a world first, according to Sony. That innovation would allow everything but the power supply to roll and flex in applications."

Those stripes are probably an artifact from the screen being rolled up. That should be ironed out if/when the screen goes into production.

OK - http://news.cnet.com/8301-11128_3-20004170-54.html [cnet.com] . It may mean that you have to hold it up to the sun to use it.
