Not quite up to ShadowTech, but still damn cool.

Clothing with a screen like that for changing splash images and stuff like that would be really cool.

That isn't technology. That's magic.

Heh, reminds me of this:

Can totally break that.

Yeah, looks like it would snap if you tried folding it like paper. It would likely also not do nearly as well if something like a pick was being used.

It is however very impressive.

Well, yeah, certainly. But its certainly a lot more indestructible than standard displays and will take the abuse we regularly put those devices through (mainly blunt object blows, eg. dropping).

These would pair well with households that throw their Wiimotes.

Yeah, I was just teasing. So much hyperbole in the media, though.

One problem, its Samsung. One year after you buy it, it'll burn out.

Eh? I've had my Samsung phone two years now and it's lasted longer than any other phone I've owned, and my monitor's still going six years strong.

They're all supplied by the same Chinese conglomerates.

I've got a Samsung phone too, and while I'm not too impressed with the software,* the hardware itself is good

*I think it was the previous version of this phone, but my calendar appointments went off 3 hours late and I couldn't put in times unless they were exactly on a half hour mark (1pm, 1:30pm, 2pm...) and if I put in "12:45pm" it rounded up...to 13:00pm.

I really want to see these being used in roll up televisions, laptops, e-readers, ect. Thin screen LED technology is really useful. I mean 'cmon, I own a roll-up keyboard, and they can make a roll up screen. Can't be that hard to make the hardware rollable too. Now I don't know anything about technology, so I may be wrong, but it just seems very possible at this point. Last I heard, sony had one in the works, but that was over a year ago, and I haven't heard anything else about it.

Same. Once they can get these kinds of screens flexible enough for that (or at least, start making them) I'd consider an "iRollup."

I'm sure it would just be the iRoll^tm They don't like adding that extra syllable.

I'm already dreading the marketing for that product.

"I'm <celebrity>, and that's how iRoll."

No! I don;t care how technologically advanced it would be! I don't ever want to have to see those commercials...

Quick, either delete this thread or copyright it!

Bull! Save us from the pain! Delete this thread!

*steeples fingers and cackles in a most unbecoming manner*

Now I see an Apple shareholders meeting with Steve Jobs speaking interspersed with Mark Hamil from Empire Strikes Back.

AHAHAHA!

This made me laugh. I'm at work too, but that's ok, because they just put peanut shells and coffee all over a co-worker's chair.

Last time I saw a company proclaim its product to be unbreakable it was a cell phone at CES this year. They handed it to a reporter who proceeded to whack it against the edge of a fish tank (where they were dunking the phone to show that it was water proof).

Whack whack whack crack.

Four hits later the screen was shattered and the phone was quite clearly broken.

Haha, awesome.

I loved the rep's reaction too: burst out laughing and clapped his hands.

iRoll =

Not exactly marketing gold, that, especially given Apple is already perceived as a bit snooty.

That is exactly what made me laugh.

It is a cool display but I bet it scuffs easy. It is just plastic. It will go into something but high resolution and sensitive touch screens is where most people have been going.

When a glass screen breaks from a normal amount of damage, the electronic screen is just fine, it just needs a new case. People scalp you for replacment part or over charge you for repair. There are econic reasons for why this is the case. I am not going to go into it.

I guess what I am saying is glass sceens will be around for a wile and these things will not replace that for a pocket device. But then again many people today have a phone with a plastic screen. It is not as if I know what I am talking about.

Ehhh... I have had my Samsung Monitor for 14 Years, and my Samsung TV (48" HDTV) for 7 years... Neither of which hae ever had any problems... Not sure where your problems are, but I love my Samsung products.
