Sony’s Stretchy, Skinny OLED

Now this is cool and you don’t even have to speak Japanese to understand it. At the Society for Information Display (SID) Symposium in Long Beach, California yesterday, Sony unveiled what it is calling the world’s first full-color, organic electroluminescent display (OLED) embedded on a flexible screen! This 2.5” prototype bends and stretches like no mini-TV you’ve ever seen.

Although Sony hasn’t revealed its consumer oriented plans for the pliable device, we can surmise that future uses include portable hand-held (or, in this case, wrist-strapped) media players able to withstand a 3-year old’s destructive curiosity. The prototype supports 16.8 million colors at 120 x 169 pixel resolution. All this squeezed into a 0.3mm (0.01”) thickness.
