Ink Breakthrough Heralds Bendy PC Screens

Posted by timothy on from the 1001-positions-for-computing dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Researchers claim to have developed a type of soluble semiconductor ink which could help to make bendable computer screens a reality. Developed at Polyera and BASF Future Business, the ink carries an N-Type negative charge. Previously, semiconductor inks have only been able to carry a positive charge. The new ink can be printed onto any flexible material, including plastic and paper, using only a modified ink-jet printer."

    Am I missing something? Even TFA doesn't say how this is a major step forward for bendable computer screens.
