Sony's rollable OLED display can wrap around a pencil, our hearts (video)

Nothing says "future" quite like a rollable display. Today Sony's giving us a glimpse into what will one day be with its 80μm-thick organic TFT-driven OLED display. The 4.1-inch display integrates Sony organic thin-film transistors and OLED technology onto a flexible 20μm substrate lacking any rigid driver IC chips. As such it can be wrapped around a cylinder with a 4-mm minimum radius. Display specs include a 432 x 240 pixel resolution (121ppi) supporting 16M colors while exceeding 100nits brightness and a 1,000:1 contrast. It's still research, but it's clearly advancing towards product... someday. See it in action after the break.

How very sci-fi. My only problem is... where would it go?

The question is, can this be made into toilet paper?

Tv falls, pick it up throw it back on the wall

do not fold, mutilate, or spin- oh wait.

Ahhh! It seems that the folding of the screen leaves some "marks" ... however, I still experienced an org... satisfaction at seein this =D

@darknessangel yes, because it's not a rollable screen, I mean it is not one screen. It is a series of small screen-slices. The thin lines in the screen are actually the borders of the slices.

Nonetheless, the illusion is quite good for a prototype.

Is there someone who is working on the similiar things? And when will this interesting product be used in our daily life? Thans for the reply.
