Flexible Screen For Phones Just Two Years Away

Personal Tech pipe wrote:

A little mouse told me that Philips Polymer Vision scientists have made dramatic progress on a flexible, 5-inch display for cell phones the company plans to "roll out" in two years.

Called the Polymer Vision PV-QML5, it's a 5-inch ultra-thin and very light 320 x 240 pixel active-matrix display.

You use it by grabbing a part of the phone and pulling it like a scroll.

Would be extremely handy to have one of those screens.

ohh, I can already imagine some random jackass on the subway poking a hole through one of these while you're watching a movie... OTOH, these look thin, so I guess they can be used with flexible PCBs (which are not as difficuilt to make, I imagine) for ultra, ultra, ultra portable * players.

i'm wondering...... will the screen project the images or will it be a canvas for a source (where the phone is)
