HP and ASU Demo Prototype Flexible Display

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the soft-hardware dept.

Engadget is reporting that HP and Arizona State University's cooperation has given birth to a new prototype flexible display. Using "self-aligned imprint lithography" (SAIL) the prototype device is easy to manufacture, environmentally friendly, and incredibly resilient. Unfortunately it is still a prototype, so don't expect to see this tech hit the streets for quite a while yet.

      'Snuggle' - I don't think that word means what you think it means.

      You might consider posting as an AC with this sort of perversion.

    The ink cartridges used to do the lithography only come one-quarter filled.

      The price of that new display will be very low, however they'll get you on the cost of screen refreshes.

    If you're young enough not to have ever read such a message, don't worry about it.

    I'm just surprised ASU stopped drinking long enough to make something.
