Sony today unveiled a new screen that will forever change the future of electronic devices. This new 2.5-inch OLED screen is made of a glass substrate that allows you to casually bend the screen. Since the display is wafer-thin, you one day might see these inside magazines as advertisements or perhaps on the back of a cellphone for viewing movies. It uses organic TFT technology to keep clarity in-tact and to retain its 0.3mm thickness.
This display will allow for the development of bigger, better, lighter, and “softer” electronics Sony says. In case you were wondering, the screen has a resolution of 120×169 pixels and weighs only 1.5 grams. Extremely impressive. Imagine if this became a low-cost media solution years down the road. DIY video players made from magazine ads? I think so.

Not that anyone would probably know, but wondering if the lines & such in the image on the display are problems caused by the bending, or some kind of test pattern? It looks like the former, but the circle by the girl’s cheek looks like it’s supposed to b e there… so it’s tough to tell.

It’s probably some sort of color/contrast test. Or maybe incomplete software which isn’t using the display properly?
New display technology never ceases to amaze me. I can’t wait until its possible to basically tape a few OLED displays to your wall.

Hmmm…Eventual replacement for projectors? Instead of having a projector projecting onto the screen, the screen simply is the medium.

My presumption is that the lines are there to help show emphasis on the bending that’s happening. You can see the lines are being bent, whereas the picture itself wouldn’t look very distorted otherwise, aside from being able to see the outside lines of the led being bent. So it’s just to help show the degree to which the picture is being moved around.

It looks like a stock photo that some art director thought should look “hi-tech” so they added meaningless lines, circles, and colored dots. It doesn’t even look like it was taken with that image on the screen. It’s probably like every other marketing/advertising photo of a tv: “SCREEN SIMULATED”

This is great stuff. I currently own shares off PANL, a company that has been producing OLED tech for a few years. Right now is definitely the time to buy stock in these companies. Remember Minority Report? All the flexible displays that came in the form of newspapers, and ads on building, and freeways? That is the future.
