Sony Unveils Flexible OLED Thinner Than a Hair

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the good-at-yoga dept.

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!"

    Gizmodo has a video. The 'dead' strips seem to change as it get's bent. It's cool.. but that doesn't seem like a problem easily solved.

    Sony pulled a stunt FIVE YEARS AGO.

    Try last month. They unconditionally (and probably illegally) pulled out a major feature of the PS3 for all PS3 owners.

    Nope. all my panasonic gear has NO sony components in it.

    no Sony chips inside. It's one reason why I went Panasonic... they dont use ANY sony parts and are a glass maker on their own as well.

    and people are still unsuspectingly installing rootkits using Sony CDs made several years ago... I have a few CDs I have to hold down the left shift key for when loading them just to be doubly sure...
