Sony shows off, folds up super flexible organic TFT display

E-reader manufacturers are doing their darnedest to get their devices to act more just like the old style books we’ve all since abandoned, but we can’t be at liberty until we are able to roll one up and stuff it in our back pockets, paperback-style. Sony’s working hard to make that dream a reality — the corporate showed off some new bendable display technology behind closed doors eventually week’s SID conference in LA, including a color unit and the extremely flexible black and white e-paper display seen above, which are bent to a 5mm curvature radius. The 13.3-inch sheet has a 1,600 x 1,200 (150ppi) resolution and is powered by organic TFTs. Sony showed off and bent the item on the show, reportedly to the cheers of the group in attendance. Clearly they’re all as excited as we’re to make some really expensive e-paper airplanes. For more shots of the bending process, consult the source link below.
