READIUS : A Rollable Display

What happen if our laptops, IPads, and all other display device become bendable or Rollable, wao.....its amazing....just imagine hows our life become simple, simpler and simplest. Research is going on to make this dream true....and after many efforts Royal Philips electronics  has been launched a rollable display device called READIUS. This become possible just due to the mechanical flexibility of organic molecules.This technology combined  ultrathin flexible OTFT-driven active-matrix backplane technology and flexible electronic ink (E-Ink) display technology. The Readius is the world’s first prototype of a functional electronic-document reader that can unroll its display to a scale larger than the device itself. With four gray levels, the monochrome, 5-inch QVGA (320 pixels x 240 pixels) display provides paper-like viewing comfort with a high contrast ratio for reading-intensive applications, including text, graphics, and electronic maps. Using a bi-stable electrophoretic display effect from E Ink Corp., the display consumes little power and is easy to read, even in bright daylight. Once the user has finished reading, the display can be rolled back into the pocket-size (100 mm x 60 mm x 20 mm) device.
