Sony Shows Off Flexible OLED Screens At CES

An anonymous reader writes "Sony's stand at CES had a small area set aside for flexible OLED screens, along with three mock-ups of possible OLED devices (including one stunning ultra-portable with no hinge and a single display for both screen and keyboard). There was also a working OLED screen being bent back and forth while playing a video clip. Does this mean roll-up, low-power colour screens will soon hit the market? Not unless OLED prices come down — Sony's stunning XEL-1 OLED TV costs $2,500, but only has an 11in screen ..."

    Yeah but if an 11 in^2 is $2500 and most folks are 2 m^2 in surface area, it would cost about $17,875 for the displays alone and at that point would be pretty skin tight, more like a leotard than a cloak.

    I'd be happy to see an invisible tie so I could wear that and get one over on the man, or randomly turn it from invisible to a disturbing picture for microseconds to mess with friends and co-workers.

    a fifty-year-old is either (a) still in love with the same stuff she saw when she was five, or (b) watching on a much more complicated level, and requires far more meaning and technical skill in their content.

    Dear Sir,

    I wish to complain in the strongest possible terms about your use of the feminine pronoun "she". Some of my best male friends are 50, and only a few of them are transvestites.

    Yours faithfully, Brigadier Sir Charles Arthur Strong (Mrs.)
    P.S. That my mother made me wear ribbons in my hair when I was five is nobody's business.
