Giant, bendy, electronic newspapers.

LG Announces 19-inch, Flexible, E-Paper Display : Read more

Probably one of the coolest things I have seen.

 

[coonday]

^^^Agreed. I wonder if I will ever be able to read Tom's on it.

Harry Potter newspapers anyone? this is awesome

 

[maigo]

doesn't look all that flexible

 

[hakesterman]

I'll take one at $149.99 maybe two.............

As a scifi fan as well as tech enthusiast I am always excited to see marketable technology become reality. Was anyone else a little amazed when you saw the epaper in the movie "Minority Report"? I for one really like this.

 

[BoxBabaX]

I don't really have much use for one of these, but will I get one? YES! this is too cool of a toy to pass on.

Could you guys dig up a little more about the 11.5" Skiff reader, please? Battery life seems like a really interesting topic since the reader is so thin, yet relatively packed. Also weight!

 

[back_by_demand]

Maybe if it could be used to playback videos? That would be worth it.

The fact that it's slim, thus light, is very nice. But why does it have to be flexible?

"Hey guys, look! I can bend my new *CRACK* ... Oh shit..."

It's flexible not fold-able....

 

[huron]

That is simply amazing. I can't wait until these things are more mainstream - all sorts of possibilities.

Lmao. I had the same though. Just like the "unbreakable cell phone".

 

[quovatis]

Using metal foil seems like it would eventually break if you flex it many times. It's durability would thus be quite low I would think.

I was thinking Minority Report (Harry Potter is magic, afterall), but yeah.

 

[mlopinto2k1]

I, have just been waiting to see it in the news. I have had full faith this would happen. It will most certainly branch out in many other forms. Depending on it's brightness, would be nice to have tiled on your ceiling for limitless lighting. ANYTHING, that is just a corny "idea".

LG technology goes into the Skiff which was announced a few weeks ago.

hide porn in your jeans lol

 

[roagie]

Imagine a screen with the ability to wrap around your head for a panoramic view... SOOO many possibilities with this one.

 

[sliem]

Hope it doesn't fly away when the wind blows while you read an eBook in the park on a windy day.

 

[wildwell]

How durable is it? How is it powered? What about something that folds too, instead of just rolling up?

 

[Guest]

Hm. And I thought that Caprica's computer sheet was a little bit far fetched....
