LCD Screens Almost Paper-thin

DarklordSatin writes "Nature.com has an article up about new LCDs that are thin enough to roll up and can display black and white at 96 dpi. More coverage by Wired and Scientific American. Thanks go to Arstechnica for the heads up." Wow. Let the speculation for new uses begin! Update: 05/10 14:59 GMT by CN : Whoops, this is really a dupe of an older story that slipped through because I only searched for LCDs. Ah well, it's still cool.

Now I'll have to wear my glasses when I go to the can or I might accidently wipe my arse with my LCD display.

At night it would turn into little moons and stars.
In the morning it would reflect what the weather is like.

Hmmm... that already happens in my room! OH! My mistake, I left the curtains open.

Clothes as displays?

[vidnet]

Similar technology could even make clothes that double as video screens.

I hope they add an alpha channel to those!

Forget the LCDs

Forget the LCDs - the real story here is that a Slashdot editor made an attempt to prevent dupes. ;-)
