Waiting for Flexible Displays and Flexible Devices New York Times (blog)
Mr. Colaneri said we could expect to see flexible displays in the marketplace in the next three to five years — but this is just the screen technology. The other components are a little further out. The first iterations of these technologies will also be larger external screens than smaller readers. Mr. Colaneri said, “Flexible is a major part of the discussion because longer range there is an interest in larger area displays that can be rolled up and stored somewhere.”
O.K., so instead of my flexible news reader in the morning, can I go camping with a fully flexible 52-inch OLED television?
If the flexible technologies continue to advance and the correct resources are applied to research in this area, completely flexible OLED devices could be in the marketplace in the next 10 years, and flexible E Ink devices would be available even sooner, possibly in the next five to seven years.
The United States Army, the main financing arm of the A.S.U. Flexible Display Center, has invested millions of dollars into this technology for use on the battlefield. They hope that flexible devices will also mean inexpensive, rugged and fast technologies soldiers can use in battle. Instead of lugging around laptops and heavy, breakable LCD screens, soldiers could just unroll a screen and begin interacting with maps and central commands.
