LG Phillips Patents Oil and Water Display

Posted by kdawson on from the mixing-it-up dept.

jordanhh writes "Tech.co.uk reports that LG Phillips has filed a patent for a new type of thin, flexible display. 'The pixels are made from tiny plastic cells filled with minute amounts of oil and water. The oil floats on the surface of the water and shrouds the colored surface underneath it. When electricity is applied across the cell, the oil moves aside, changing the color of the pixel.'"

    They expect to get excellent blacks (the bane of digital display technologies) by using motor oil from my 1999 Saturn.
