Collapsible LCD Screens
Schart writes "I can't seem to find any pictures of exactly what they mean by 'collapsible LCD,' but NEC today announced a new line of low(ish) priced LCD screens that 'fold up for easy portability.'" Anyone out there who can supply visual documentation?
Now I can fold up my porn and put it my pocket!
Excuse me while I go take a picture of an LCD falling on my head. Then you'll have one of a 'Collapsible LCD' :)
well, for those of us who like to lug our towers around! this will save a whole lot of space on those long airline flights ;)

Well and good if you can fold the LCD monitor, but what's the use if you can't fold the the CPU!
Will sys-admin for food
yup. they ship the monitor in the standard 3x7 envelope too. pay 35 cents for shipping and handeling.

Scientific and technological advances are just distraction by evil doers from our real duty in life.
We should all be working the fields of our feudal lord not sitting at home programming on these new fangled porn propogators.
Agrarian theocracy was how god intended us to live. I say we go back to being serfs and peasants so we can remain in gods good grace!
Collapsible LCD?
:)
Nintendo had that decades ago with Donkey Kong!
Origami, the age old art of paper folding will be applied to nec folding screen techlology.
A few folds... it's a bird
a few folds... it's a horse
a few folds.... it's broken!

This is how it works (I have my sources. Don't question me!):
* You pay your 500 clams
* You take your monitor home and out of the packagaing
* It collapses in on it self, all black-hole-like
The reason there are no photos of it, obviously, is because it isn't human viewable. And now, a word of advice: Stand the fuck back when it collapses 'cos that things has some serious gravitational pull!
This has been a public service announcement. Thankyou.
stick it on any wall less than 6 metres away, and presto - wireless display.
And then some dirty bastard walks by with their laptop, and suddenly your wireless screen is displaying their "kiddie+marine life" porn on the wall for everyone to see...
Anyway, if you could create a fold-up LCD, what would stand in the way of a fold-up OLED?
You need to work out more often.
Sure, it's big, but it still fits in a backpack.

I had a foldable LCD screen... that is, until I folded it.
Yup yer right buddy, we shouldn't forget the works of He that created us.
I also on occasion give thanks to the contributions of Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and RN.
This is where I keep my clever quotes "" Yup I only got a pair, so I better not waste em!
Glad to be of service... Collapsible LCD
Man.. and I was just gonna pull a "is that a lcd in your pocket or are you just happy to see me"-joke
:)
darn!
- I choked on the red pill and now I'm stuck in limbo
So now when you're in bed, wanting to look at pr0n but worried your mom stepping in... You can fold it so you can see it under your sheets :)
Assuming foldable screens fold as well as paper, you get 8 or 9 folds max.
Not if you use an accordion pleated fold. Well, at least accordion to my sources....

If the roll up uses the same thing that those vinyl roll up white window shades and seatbelts do I'll never be able to get it to work.
