Foldable TV Screens Are On The Horizon
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.

I’m interested on this gadgets and did you know what is the retail price for this stuff?

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?
October 28th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
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.

This technology will be huge once it matures. In addition to the items you’ve listed above, the print media is looking at introducing it for newspapers and magazines.
Once it gets a net connection, it will be possible for headlines to change on the fly, real time.

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.

I hope to see them real soon at all the electronics stores!

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 ! it opens a wide applications horizon
November 19th, 2008 at 7:30 am
This is sosmething that i’ve been expecting to see for some time. These items could be integrating into clothing for example, a lot of possibilities there.
November 21st, 2008 at 9:16 am
Wow the posibilities of this new material are endless. I hope it goes into produccion soon.
November 22nd, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Just have to ask, Why? What would you use it for?
November 24th, 2008 at 12:01 am
I can’t wait to fold that up in my pocket!

This is only possible with the help of nano technologies which provides enough flexibility to the materials. Brilliant stuff
November 27th, 2008 at 10:50 am
It is great thing, where I can buy it and what is it price?
November 27th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Unbeleiveable. Everything from the old Dick Tracy comics are really coming true! I have a friend who is doing research in nanotechnology and the things I am learning from him are just fantastic!
December 3rd, 2008 at 5:40 am
This is cool ! a very nice post, thank you for the information.
December 3rd, 2008 at 12:55 pm
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.
December 8th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
That sounds great! Would love to have a futuristic watch/TV/computer attached to my wrist. Wonder what sony’s plans for it are…

I’m sure this will become a reality very soon. When a new generation product is shown for the first time it looks like it never comes true. But then we get used to it very quickly.

I was not expecting that too early in our age but I am amazed to see and read that. Perhaps all of our world is going to think and flexible.
December 18th, 2008 at 8:42 am
I think this is just beginning of new era. We are going to such more and more which is out of our imagination. With all current development in our technologies, it is just beginning.

Remarkable stuff ! Must say - a great advanced technology.

There’s this laptop where it has a fold out screen, transforming it from a 15″ to a 22″. Looks delicious.
You can really see this working. Not just for small screens, but for people who want to do presentations on the move for example.
January 21st, 2009 at 2:09 pm
This is something that is really cool yet I did read somewhere that after a small amount of time the blue color will start to fade and that is just not cool. To not be able to see one of the primary colors in the video image of every type of media. I was also reading an article a while back that hinted at other companies that have integrated a screen in a shirt. While the designs look nothing alike. I would like to just point out that Sony is not the first one to enter into this market.

In this 21st century there is nothing possible to build gadget like this.

I think there is more to come and that is just start of new technologies. In next 20-25 years we’ll see the stuff which is just imaginary.

The screen was too cute and small. Though it is like that I like to buy one which is having more features. Nice to view this.

I am expecting even more than that due to all emerging technologies and all the progress we have in these days. I think sky is the limit and we are on the right path. Thanks for sharing it though.
March 15th, 2009 at 7:10 am
This is great news. This could make for some great gadgets
March 16th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
Superb, I’ve seen these somewhere before. The only limitation at the moment I think is the size. They can only make them in small sizes apparently. As soon as they have that one cracked then this could have many many applications.
March 26th, 2009 at 8:54 am
I am wondering where I can find them or purchase them because I have never seen such thing in my life till now. Where such stuff is available and have been launched?
April 17th, 2009 at 7:44 am
In my view the biggest issue with laptop computers is that however small they are they are in fact big. We are used to carrying pieces of paper to transport information. Once the computer is reduced to the size of an A4 sheet of paper and is foldable so that you can put it into your pocket or briefcase or handbag - there will be another industrial revolution!
April 22nd, 2009 at 12:19 am
@Free Laptops, Where you have seen them before? I know that world is going to be a different place and after a few years we’ll see much more than that. Anyways, I am dying to purchase one.
April 28th, 2009 at 3:44 am
wow, the world is so small, i don’t know what’s next.
We are more lazy than before because of these f**king merchants. Hehe.
May 15th, 2009 at 1:14 am
Love these flexy screens! The uses for these will be mind blowing. I want a full foldout, rollout one that would come out of a small mobile device allowing me to have a small lcd and giant PC sized screen. arrr the future..hurry up and get here already!
October 23rd, 2009 at 5:45 am
Hi,
Great tech stuff.Thanks for sharing with us.I have heard of foldable mobile phones and E-book readers but this is the first time im hearing about foldable television. Sony Rockzzz
