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!

    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.

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

    I hope they add an alpha channel to those!
