Flexible Display

A sliver of the future can soon be tucked into your back pocket. For years, researchers have worked onthin, paperlike displays that can be folded, rolled or sewn into the sleeve of your hoodie. Flexible displays could change the way we interact with the info-universe, creating new kinds of cellphones, portable computers, e-newspapers and electronic books.

This year, the research moved from the realm of science fiction to plausible reality. With help from the U.S. Army, Arizona State University's Flexible Display Center has created a prototype for soldiers, and hopes to have the devices in field trials in the next three years. Startups like Plastic Logic and E-Ink have been developing similar technologies.

Meanwhile, Hewlett Packard announced a manufacturing breakthrough that allows the thin-film transistor arrays to be fabricated on flexible plastic materials, enabling manufacturers to "print" displays on big, newsprintlike rolls. Samsung showed off a mobile phone prototype with a flexible display that folds like a book.


PS3 new 3D mode coming in 2010 to all existing games


Its does sound very cool and entertaining, but you will have to wear 3D glasses and buy specific new games that can only be played in 3D (expensive)

it seems to be a very good idea for certain games, for example action or racing games, but i really do feel that it will not work for some games like FIFA??
