The real iPad - revolutionary 'paper' screen you can twist and bend unveiled (Video)

I want this

Awesome.

Just like in that movie "Red Planet".

Thanks for that reference to the movie

Research, development and manufacturing by Samsung, marketing by Apple...

Which do you prefer?

i will not be impressed until you can fold it 10 times without breaking it. keep at it. :P

Tks. I upgraded post with the video

Clever but looks a bit awkward and a little cumbersome.
Thanks for sharing:-)

Cumbersome? Only when it is unrolled

Looks similar to the kindle technology. Which has some interesting advantages over traditional display tech.

HOWEVER, when this becomes cheap enough to have a 50+ inch wall version for a few hundred bux i will be buying.

Be nice to have a big chart i can stick on the wall and put things such as a calender and notes on without actually using paper. Sure i could just use a whiteboard or a projector, but if you can load stuff via external sources its usefulness increases.

Advantages of the e ink tech are that it only uses power when changing something on the display. so you could keep a digital calender on the wall for months without it using power.

Imagine how good colour large format versions would be for artists and designers.

They really have to work on improving the refresh rate on these e ink type devices though.

Imagine if you could roll up like a 50 inch version and then put it in a tube safe...roll it out on a desk at work or school, showing your colleagues, peers, teacher or students something.

Fantastic

If they get the framerate up on these things high enough for true 60fps and develop the right software and battery design we could have 2 or 3mm magnesium/alu laptops that last for a month on a charge that have no physical keys within this decade. Think of those ultrathin laptops these days.

Just a basic metal framed clamshell design. one screen acting as an interface and the other acting as a display.

Maybe you could link two of them if you have two of them stand it sideways and have 2x displays and two input interfaces.

Back in 2009/10 laptops were already getting pretty thin anyway.



One problem i can foresee is ports, laptops will be thinner than the ports, i guess they will have to design some kind of wireless box/ port interface.

Like a little cigarette box size thing that connects wirelessly and you plug your stuff such as CD drives into that.

Imagine if they can make rolls of the stuff for a few hundred dollars and you can layer it.

Might be able to cover a wall in digital wallpaper.

How cool would an office be in the middle of a jungle or in your favorite soccer stadiums vip box.

The limit is basically cost.

Oh, yes, but in this moment the screen that rolls is revolutionary

It looks as though power supply is going to be an issue.

They would have to rid themselves of all cords; which, speaks to the other users power issue as well.
Neat idea, but definitely at its inception.
Conk

now it can be bent and fit rolled up in your pocket

Or worn on your forearm like the predator

or on your clothes

I think the cables and crap are just to do with the prototyping.

Ultrathin flexible rechargeable batteries might be in development.

Screen on one side ultrathin flexible solar panel on the other for green charging when not using a socket?

Like all new "trendy" technology, they keep trying to get rid of buttons in place of doing retarded gestures and bending and flipping and moving the device... Why? I want buttons, not dog earing the device so that it glitches and doesn't do what I want xD

Imagine for how long that technology already exist
if they let it introduce in the movie, five years ago!

I'll rather wait some years until there really are useble tablets. This seems nice but is not practical because you will need a whole package of these things to use them. (or at least more then 1, with current markets will cost about the same as an ipad so NO..

Now if they implement this as toilet paper, there is going to be a redefinition of vouyerism in the foreseeable future..... eww.

Problem for big very big paper screen

Usable?

Perhaps something like this?

Sure
