Digital Home Thoughts: Sony's OLED Display Wraps Tight

"Sony has developed a super-flexible 80 μm-thick 4.1" 121ppi OTFT-driven full colour OLED display which can be wrapped around a thin cylinder. This display can reproduce moving images while rolled-up and stretched over a thousand times."

It seems like OLED displays have been "the next big thing" for some time now, although actual products have been few, of limited size (as in under 4-inches!), and/or rather expensive - as with Sony's $2,500 11" XEL-1 television. Still, a number of companies continue to work on the technology, and the possibility of a display that can be rolled up, or even repeatedly flexed, simply has to open the possibility of innovative products. Photography Blog picked up on Sony's News Release for a rollable display: the technical jargon and photographs are interesting enough, but seeing the display in action is truly impressive!
