JohnTC02 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Sony just revealed an OLED screen that's so astonishingly flexible it can be rolled tightly around a tube the size of a pencil. All of your sci-fi-inspired bendy screen next-gen computer dreams just came true. The screen uses a new organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) based on a new semiconducting material that has eight times the current modulation rate of existing OTFTs. Also, instead of relying on driving electronics based on conventional solid chips in their familiar little black plastic packages, Sony's built all the display driver tech out of OTFTs themselves, and integrated them into the actual panel the display itself is made on. This is crafted from a super-thin (20 micron-thick) substrate, making it flexible enough to be repeatedly rolled around a tube of diameter of just 4mm, as well as being stretched. http://shogungamer.com/news/closer-paper-thin-portable-gaming-sonys-new-oled-screen-rolls-around-pencil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoQuarter Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 2 years ago this same tech from Sony was reported as having "unusually strong measures being taken against heat" complete with heat-pipes and fans. SCIENCE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
