HP and ASU Demo Prototype Flexible Display
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.
Even more interestingly, it's a type of colour bistable display, so combined with the roll-to-roll process it really is electronic paper. If it's as hardy as they say, I guess we can look forward to a "real" e-ink cover in Esquire in five to ten years.
No kidding!!! What do you say at this point?
Does anyone know where to find a video of the RGB display? A video of the immediate predecessor of the above is available here ( dynamic stress testing )

Just imagine giving birth to a CRT. Ouch.
The ink cartridges used to do the lithography only come one-quarter filled.

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