Sony has developed a 2.5-inch Flexi-OLED display that measure just 0.3mm thick — made from glass substrate. Continue reading for a video.
Supposedly the display has been created for lightweight, bigger and “softer” electronics, but all I see is problems with this. Sure it could be integrated into phones and whatnot, but what if they become so cheap that companies begin plastering actual video advertisements in print media?

Dell’s ultra-thin LCD concept is rumored to be going on sale later this year — pricing has not yet been announced. At just 0.5-inches thick, it boasts the DisplayPort 1.1 interface, 4x the resolution of standard HDTV sets, and what looks like integrated speakers. We’ll keep you posted as more informations comes in.

Touch Tactics is one of the first “eChalkboard systems” to hit the market. It consists of a 42-inch touchscreen display and custom software that allows users to perform a variety of functions, like using it as a sports playbook. Videos after the jump.
Sony has announced that it will be releasing a new line of ultrathin (3mm thick) OLED displays later this year, featuring 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 1080p, and 1920 x 1080 native resolution. Video on OLEDs after the break.
We’re used to seeing OLED screens in small-ish electronics. But the technology is moving forward by leaps and bounds, and displays getting ever larger. The nice thing about OLED displays is that they don’t have to be quite as thick as their LCD or plasma counterparts

We have seen the future, and it’s flexible displays. This technology hasn’t yet been perfected, but it definitely gives us a glimpse into the future of mobile displays.
