Bendable LCD Screen, seen some news on it a few years but it was just a black and white screen. Ghost in the shell right round the corner...

LoTekK · May 2007

Holy crap. I want!

EmAr · May 2007

Sweet, I want a spherical LCD screen headset to play FPS games!!!

Mongrelman · May 2007

Very cool, reminds me of the map they have in Red Planet.

Jesse Moody · May 2007

Thats funny I was just talking about these the other day and the possibilities that can come from these.

Not sure how much they cost to make and how long they last for but it's really cool.

Another breakthrough...just that bigger screen is still better.

ebagg · May 2007

That's awesome, I can't wait for the day when I can get a half circle monitor that surrounds me and display peripheral vision in an FPS!!

Luxury · May 2007

It's Sony. Maybe it will be incorporated into PSP3? ha

CheapAlert · May 2007

its not next-gen til u leve out the T.

OLED, finally! I've been reading about this for awhile--if I remember correct, the big price bottleneck over the last few years has been the blue crystals/diodes as much as the tech itself. But yeah, once they get over that hurdle I remember some article saying they could be built to any dimensions/size, be no thicker than a piece of paper, and viewable from pretty much any angle.

That is sweet.

Playin PS3 on you pair of OLED glasses

Might not be able to focus at that distance but its a cool idea. Maybe they'll be able to develop a VR headset that doesnt suck balls nowdays

HonkyPunch · May 2007

Cyborg slugs?

I was thinking the same thing, so much for getting the paper delivered to your daily, just updated your digital one through wireless networking... OHH YEAAHH!

Thousands of paper boys will be jobless.

Is THIS what you want america reduced to? Technology? What ever happened to the good old work ethic? Huh?
HUH?

while you're at it, why not go with the english version of the video. I've seen this Japanese news item linked on loads of sites, but a few clicks away on the youtube page is a video twice as long in english...

DAMN!!! Those tvs are thin as hell! Hang those on the wall with a thumbtack...haha

Needles · May 2007

Heard the main problem with oled tech is longevity, since the glowing part is organic, it deteriorates way fast or so i hear. I wouldnt spent 2grand on a oled tv just yet heh.

sonic · May 2007

Needles: I think they have found a way to make the Red and Green colors last quite a while (I think around 40k hours), but the blue is where the problem still is (I think around 12k hours).
