I have been waiting for this type of screen ever since I watched Earth: Final Conflict. They had these personal communcators that were like 1"x3" when stored but would pull apart to reveal a large video screen. This would be the perfect type of PDa device. I can't seem to find a picture of this device from the show but it really illustrates the usefulness of the idea.
Did anyone notice it's 6mm thick? That's huge for a laptop. That doesn't include any of the other display layers/components. Looks like this needs some time to develop. This design would be fine for a flat light source, ie wall mounted or ceiling mounted, which is what it was designed for.

It's from all the man pages online. RTFM anyone?
