Thin is in, and if we can trim down the thickness of the LCD screen, we'll have thinner Pocket PCs. I wonder if this can be combined with OLED technology?
"E Ink Corporation, the leading developer and marketer of electronic ink technology for paper-like displays, today announced its demonstration of the world's thinnest active-matrix displays. Prototypes were first exhibited to industry leaders at last month's Society for Information Display Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition, in Boston, Massachusetts. E Ink has demonstrated two display sizes targeting highly portable, rugged information appliances. At less than half the thickness of a credit card, these development prototypes have a total display thickness of just 0.3 mm...Traditional active-matrix display panels measure 2 mm thick and often require a backlight for a combined thickness of 4 mm or more. E Ink's prototypes are roughly 90% thinner and lighter than typical glass-based, liquid crystal displays." Source: Mobility Daily Newsletter
