Foldable TV Screens Are On The Horizon

Flexible TV screen

This is truly amazing stuff. Flexible TV screens mean foldaway cell phones and tiny computers! With paper thin screens like this the possibilities are endless. Sony has designed this organic light emitting diode screen that is only 2.5 inches and weighs a mere 1.5 grams. While they have no specific product in mind currently and this is only a prototype, I imagine a real application is only around the corner.

    Very nice to know this. But what is the necessary to fold a TV screen. May be to occupy less space. Good invention.

    This would be useful for maybe a laptop screen you could carry in your pocket or something along those lines… When is this supposed to be public?

    That is extremely cool. I cannot wait till i can fold a TV into my pocket or even better if they had a holographic projector so you didn’t need anything in your pocket.

    So this looks like the kind of thing I can hide in my note pad and watch during long, boring meetings. Sounds perfect!

  7. Free Press Release Says:

    yeah, not sure about the use of a 2.5″ screen, but it would certainly come in handy

    I understand that the next generation of palm readers will have flexible screens so that you can read your favourite book on your way to work and not worrying about dropping the device.

    Foldable TV screens look great but I can’t see the practicality of having screen like this unless the entire unit can be folded as well. I will prefer crash-resistant TV screens.

    This is cool ! a very nice post, thank you for the information.

    That’s pretty nuts. I doubt we’ll see this publicly released for a while, if at all. Japanese companies are always displaying some crazy new tech that are years away.

  17. Nick Says:

    That sounds great! Would love to have a futuristic watch/TV/computer attached to my wrist. Wonder what sony’s plans for it are…
