Geek Tested:

New Flexible OLED Screen Demoed, Designed to be Worn Around Wrist

Posted 01/06/09 at 02:09:35 PM by Andy Salisbury

The Universal Display Corporation (UDC) has finally started handing out details about their wrist-worn, flexible OLED prototype that they’ve been building with assistance from the US Department of Defense.

The 4-inch OLED screen will be meant for military servicemen in the near future. But, as you can see, the prototype still has plenty of work that needs to be done. UDC does plan to bring a working version with them to CES, allowing the curious public a hands-on chance with the OLED future. We’ll be sure to keep an eye out.

Miniturising this should be easy. It looks like the inside of a calculator. They can obviously do better than this, just look at the ribbon cables.

I was beginning to doubt that I would live to see the Dick Tracy wristwatch.....happen :)

Now all we need is antigravity, warp engines, and tricorders....then I can go the great beyond.
