In the race for ever-thinner displays for TVs, cell phones and other gadgets, Sony may have developed one to beat them all -- a razor-thin display that bends like paper while showing full-color video.Sony Corp. released video of the new 2.5-inch display Friday. In it, a hand squeezes a display that is 0.3 millimeters, or 0.01 inch, thick. The display shows color images of a bicyclist stuntman and a picturesque lake.

How cool is that! I'm having flashbacks from Red Planet

Having followed the "Red Planet" link, I'm still mentally digesting the sight of Julia Roberts and Carrie Anne Moss :lol:.

Sigh ... I guess I'll have to bow to the geek-side too and follow the other link now .

Well eventually those screens will get bigger and bigger and they'll be up to the sizes that we got now ... imagine a 60 inch bendable TV.

The article didn't mention that these thin displays tend to have a low shelf life as they are now. Guess Sony hasn't gotten past that hurtle since they're not trumpeting any improvements in that area.
