Flexible OLED Display - FOLED


“Universal Display Corporation’s FOLED® flexible OLEDs are organic light emitting devices that are built on flexible substrates such as plastic or metallic foil. FOLED displays can offer significant performance advantages over LCD displays that are typically built on rigid glass substrates and contain a bulky backlight.”

Possible applications anyone?

  1. Even though this is crazy old, I /did/ think that it would make a sweet portable notepad type of app. I’m pretty sure the orignial press release said something about being able to use the same technology to integrate a capactive touch screen into the display. This could lead the way a useful e-paper reader/writer device. Wouldn’t students and business people be better off if they only had to carry one notebook? and it was syntatically searchable? I think so

    perhaps mobile phone screens

  3. that’s true Jason. This could make a sweet tablet PC type device. Or maybe, combining it with spoot’s idea, a PDA/smart phone would be really smooth too. It’s just that I’ve never used a flexible phone before.

  4. i think a good application would be as a window shade, simular to the one in “back to the future 2″
    turn it on and it’s a monitor/tv, turn it off (standby) and it goes solid color to block the sunlight or add color to the room

  5. There’s a good roundup of current display tech from the latest Society for Information Display Conference here.

    Here’s the show preview.
