Re: WTF SONY

Why would I want to bend a TV?

Oh wait, never mind. I'm not thinking outside the box. I'd love to get this, but I don't even have a flat-screen HDTV yet.

Re: WTF SONY

Ever watch a TV show and see a character you'd just love to choke, but cant due to the limits of a conventional television screen?

Well, thats not a problem now.

Re: WTF SONY

Well I guess beyond getting scratched it would be a lot safer to transport, though you could still get creases in it. Still a cool idea, though I'm not sure it would be much more useful than a flatscreen in the home, other than the fact it will likely weigh even less, probably about as much as a picture frame I would imagine. It will be great for simulators though, since you could paste it under the cockpit window in a flight simulator or something like that. Still not a whole lot for the normal consumer though.

I think that Japan is consciously trying to turn the world into Buck Rogers.

Wallpaper an entire wall in your living room with the stuff. Cover all the walls and ceiling in a room with it. Mmmmmmmm.....

portable game systems, pocket PCs, anything small with any kind of screen.

Its odd, Gundam predicted this back in 1979, when officers in a meeting were given sheets of paper that animated and showed different battle plans.

Well we're still a long ways away from these things becoming cheap enough to use for things like that, not to mention it would be much more practical to have one network connected screen instead of using them like paper. But for portable things, I'm not sure these would be that much more useful than the current TFT screens they have now, since the flexible nature of them is not highly useful for those types of screens, unless you have something like the DS but with both screens connected. Even then though you would have to make the curve smooth as to avoid creasing the screen. But it would certainly be useful for having glasses and such with screens inside of them, and being able to make those as thin as possible for wearable computers. Those would benefit much more from the ability to curve the screen.

I guess it all depends on how much thinner this is than most TFT LCD screens currently in use, since these will likely remain much more expensive for quite a bit.

Interesting!

Of course, you can't go wrong with a beer can being chugged at the screen.
