Now this is what I call a flat screen. I'd like to get one of these in like a 19"....Slim cpu with this attached to the side....hmmm....

now CRT's are really old stuff... imagine a Vic20 monitor :D

That is amazing technology. Sony is also the company that made that "e-paper" portable PDF reader that was hot stuff like a year or 2 ago.

I wonder what happens if you scratch it...

-Cool-

scratch = DEAD

It seems good, but i can't see the pratical uses for home users, i can see it being aimed at corp customers, IE billboard and the such.

Hey XcOM, I am sure they said the same thing about LCDs when they came out. I know that the orginal televisions at first seemed that way.

Very useful at home. You could place those inbetween the panes of glass in a window so your window is you computer/TV screen. Install one in your bathroom mirror, you could have a newsfeed while shaving. So many possibilities with this. I understand that it is not for everyone but don't immediately write it off.

i admit that there a brill idea, a great leap in techology, i can there will be meny uses for it, but unless you intend to mount this on a wall, it won't be very usful

Can't fathom the endless possibilities. You'll find products in the supermarket that play their own commercial on the label! Your wall will show various backgrounds... and change as the sun goes down. Instead of reading a newspaper while one the toilet, you'll watch the local news on the toilet paper.

That doesn't sound like a good thing at all. I don't want the cereal box to play a jingle every time I pick it up.

-Cool-

Billions of possibilities for this... we could integrate hi-tech mini computers with these "sheet screens" and having an interactive map on-the-go when you need it :)

[MaxOC]

theyve also made clothes that have something like this weaved into it

Have you ever seen The Minority Report? 8)

Well maybe the packaging will have a facial recognition hardware and only play ads based on your surfing habits from Google/Gmail???

[Nagoshi]

yea right, and half the kids could listen to P**N ads while eating breakfast? no way, LOL!

[Catalyst]

I want some clothes made out of that I would walk around playing movies and stuff.

I read in PCPro that they're trying to get the movie industry interested in this by getting them to put Ads on the back of cinema tickets. It's a good way to get this out there.

Although it wasn't quite this-this was the 'video paper' from a few months back, which wasn't intended to be used as a screen, if you get what I mean...
