Roll-Up Monitors A Step Closer To Reality

Posted by timothy on from the working-toward-the-veldt dept.

gwernol writes "CNN are covering the merger of two of the leading companies in the field of OLEDs. This brings the dream of flexible plastic monitors and TVs a step closer to fruition. You can find out more at Cambridge Display Technology who have acquired Opsys. CDT's technology paper on light emitting polymers (in the Research & Technology section of their site) is interesting reading."

    It is not "CNN are" it is "CNN is"! Who started that antigrammatical fad anyway? More importantly, when will it die. Not to be the Grammar Police, but that particular incorrect conjugation seems to be catching on.

    Now go ahead and mod me down as flamebait. I won't hold it against you. :)

  2. Merger + Patents = Monopoly = Evil by falser · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Okay, full stop. Slashdot is the main spokesite against patents, digital rights, monopolies, and generally all the bad side effects of big business and capitalism. So now this news about 2 major players in a developing industry sector is heralded as a positive thing? I don't get it. Sure it's a free country and you can pick your philosophies, but it's just not right to change them at will depending on whether it's Monday or not.

    If you watch it for more than 5 minutes it makes you feel like the biggest fscking loser alive.

    Actually, after watching that show for 5 minutes, I thought the Osbournes were the biggest fscking losers alive. Especially Jack. Oh my god.
