Sony Shows Off With Flexible OLED Display

$name Sony Shows Off With Flexible OLED Display

This year has seen a dramatic increase of attention being focused toward OLED technology and the potential it brings toward home entertainment. With Sony’s recent unveiling of a flexible OLED display at the 2008 CES, it looks like even more developments are set to come.The technology is astounding and could lead to a virtual re-shaping of how we imagine television displays, both in private and public life (think of what Times Square could look like in a few years!).

Sony has already released the wireless, XEL-1 TV (at only 0.33mm thick) for $2,500 USD and are now gearing up toward new ways of interpreting the technology. The new, flexible display has the same thin width and was demonstrated via an 11-inch model. Although the OLED flex screens won’t be hitting mass production for a while, they’re at least something worth showing off at the prototype stage.

Companies have already started getting excited about the possibilities of implementing these flexible displays into cell-phones, advertisements or even a kind of e-paper. For now it seems the sky’s the limit for Sony’s potential with this system.

Check out videos of Sony’s flexible OLED display in action to get a look at how alien the whole thing looks. Obviously we’ll be watching this one with a hawk-eye so expect more details as they arise.
