Philips Ready To Mass-Produce Foldable Screens
Posted by Janak Parekh in "NEWS" @ 02:00 PM
"Dutch firm Philips Electronics said on Monday it was preparing to mass-produce a slim, book-sized display panel onto which consumers could download newspapers and magazines -- then roll up and put away. The 5-inch display, which can show detailed images, can be rolled up into a pen-sized holder. If connected to a mobile phone, it can also be used to download web pages, a book or email."
Of course, the question I'd love answered is if we'll see this on PDAs, and if so what the practical resolutions will be. It would be cool to have more flexible PDA screens -- that could get around the limitations of having a large screen that takes up too much space in one's pocket.
