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.

    Just imagine giving birth to a CRT. Ouch.

    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.

    '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.
