Sony Unveils Flexible OLED Thinner Than a Hair
Elliot Chang writes "For Sony's newest display, the company decided to throw into the mix ultra-thinness (just 80m or a bit thinner than a human hair) and the energy-saving power of OLEDs. The new prototype is so bendy that it can be wrapped around a pencil while still streaming video!"

Well, there are some advantages to distortion. Think the girl in your adult video is a bit too chunky? Just bend the edges of the screen toward you!

Not quite true. The human hair unit has three levels: the hair, the cunt hair and the red cunt hair.
This ain't rocket surgery.
