(Video) Philips READUS

The Philips READUS is "the world’s first prototype of a functional electronic-document reader that can unroll its display to a scale larger than the device itself." See a functional prototype after the jump.
With four gray levels, the monochrome, 5-inch QVGA (320 pixels x 240 pixels) display provides paper-like viewing comfort with a high contrast ratio for reading-intensive applications, including text, graphics, and electronic maps
