It's A TRIP!
I got all excited about FOLED last year. I got all excited about it again this afternoon too. Please go to this web site and play the video you'll see linked at the top.
Make it full color, five times bigger and foldable. Now give it high speed web access (that's the easy part). Now you can stick it in your pocket and carry it everywhere you go. You could unfold it whenever and wherever you wanted to. Now think about your library.
How's that funky old song go? "I said oops upside your head, I said oops upside your head!" It IS a TRIP!
If you're keen on this, take a peek at their FOLED product concepts page.

The rollable/foldable display? It has been displayed at the exhibitions in Asia in the past two years, I think. As far as I know the OLED has a shorter life time than the current mainstream LCD displays. And the Taiwanese, Korean, even Chinese makers keep investing in the next generation LCD plants (it seems to suspend a little now). So before those makers make enough money to cover their investments and gain some profit, the rollable display may not be affordable for me. :( I am tired of carrying my 3kg laptop when I need to.
