Liquid OLED Technology Brings Flexible Displays One Step Closer
Posted 08/17/09 at 02:20:21 PM by Pulkit Chandna
Japanese researchers have made a major breakthrough that could prove to be a watershed in the development of flexible OLEDs. Scientists from the Center for Future Chemistry at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan have concocted a “liquid-OLED.”
They have detailed their innovation in the latest issue of Applied Physics Letters. The “liquid-OLED” is named as such on account of its use of a liquid semiconductor layer. This latest technology could yield more pliant and reliable roll-up OLEDs compared to other technologies currently undergoing the rigors of testing and fine-tuning in other part of the world.

What if?

What if Sony applies this to their new PSP sometime in the future? That be awesome!

Frankly, I've been reading about stuff like this for years. Come to me when there's a product, because engineering proofs may as well be vaporware. Do I see useful application of this technology? Absolutely, who wouldn't? But they've been saying how they have had breakthroughs in this technology for years--and as of yet I don't see any working products.
Portability a definite PLUS!

that looks so cool! i wonder what sizes will eventually become available? going to LAN parties or storing spare parts just got funner and easier (as far as the display goes).
Good bye overhead and

There was a sci-fi show that had a phone with a flip out screen so you could do video calls. This could be useful in duplicating that.

I agree with you but I think some of the more interesting applications for this technology would be more along the lines of having an internet connected "liquid-OLED" watch/wristband. The screen could actually wrap around the top half of your forearm and contour it.
I remember Earth...

I remember Earth Final Conflict having such a phone.
