Here's an interesting article that talks about some new advances being made in the development of light-emitting polymer (LEP) screens.
These screens are small, light and very flexible and have a number of potential applications, ranging from TVs to billboards, to, yes, PDAs. This technology would make it possible for a video display screen to be mounted to a contoured surface and/or rolled up for easy carrying and storage. Wouldn't it be great to be able to carry around a full-size external video monitor in a package no larger than the Pocket PC it attaches to?
Don't get your hopes up too high, though. Analysts don't expect these screens to be widely available until 2004 or 2005.
