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 ..."

They're already saying laser TVs will trump OLEDs. If you're waiting for one technology to trump all other technologies with no other technologies on the horizon, you'll be waiting a long while.

In the mean time, I've got a gorgeous 56" Sony Bravia LCD. I hook my PS3 into it to stream videos from my PC wirelessly, or to watch BluRays, and the experience is better than going to the movies. I noticed details watching The Dark Knight I didn't see in two viewings on the Imax.
