Trying to Shift Shape of PC Screens
November 4, 2002 | Source: New York Times
Researchers are developing technologies for a flexible, ultra-thin computer screen, creating entire computers and large-format screens on wafer-thin glass, or even plastic that can be rolled up.
The technology is based on the organic light-emitting diode (colored molecules that give off light when placed between two electrodes). If these molecules can be layered onto a piece of plastic, with computer circuitry on the back, a roll-up computer may be possible.
