TOKYO — Sony’s latest flexible display prototype is thin and sturdy enough to be wrapped up while still showing video images. The 4.1-inch screen has a resolution of 432 by 240 pixels, which is similar to that offered by many mass-market cell phones, and will be detailed at a display conference in Seattle this week.

Dear Sony – please …
Dear Sony – please develop a 1920 x 1080 HD a4 sized display that can be rolled into a 1 inch diameter, capacitive touch screen, powered by an integrated power/video cable to a side unit that is a credit card sized brick 1 cm thick, half of it a li-ion battery sitting below an atom processor with 4g / wifi antenna, 500 gb ssd, onboard graphics / sound with line-out, USB2.0 and SD card slot.
Please do it within 4 years (or 2 if you are simply amazing) and price it for less than $400 AUD.

The really groundbreaking thing about this is the flexible driver chips that are built into the screen. If you scan flex the chips, you have he potential to make flexible processors, you can have flexible video players. Anyone for a roll up Walkman?

@mikey9890 Having a rollable screen that size isn’t too practical, however, the flexibility of it would prevent your screen from cracking in a cell phone or other portable device. Think about larger screens though.. imagine having a 60″ rollable 1080p OLED TV that you can roll up into a tube and take anywhere…
