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.'"

    You patented oil?!

    Bush is gonna invade the shit out of you!

    The bible says it's his & occasionally god tells him that he should do it. By the way, we need to stop Karl Rove from getting into that crawl space in the white house right above Bush's bedroom ...

    The patent part anyway. The probably sunk millions into it but no one here thinks they should be able to profit from their innovation, right?
