The extremely stable bending display.

Whether you compare it with a hammer worked, it tramples around it or tried to rip: This display is not. U.S. researchers have created a new screen-bending invented much of the bear, delivers sharp images and above all is cheap.
  The development has lasted four years, now is a first prototype ready: Together, the computer manufacturer HP and the Flexible Display Center (FDC) of Arizona State University (ASU) invented a screen, as it is technology enthusiasts have long dreamed. Because unlike the screen on which we are accustomed, is the new supple, contains neither glass nor metal.
Instead of bending screen entirely from plastic. This way you can build it so thin that it is almost as flexible as a magazine. With such films screens several concepts for the future would finally be realized. Phones with ausrollbaren or flexible and thus larger displays, for example. Or mobile computer, which really only exist from the screen, roll together businesspeople and well stowed leave.
May be the sci-fi technology through a manufacturing process that researchers at the Arizona State University jointly developed with HP. The core is a plastic film on which the circuits are printed almost. Since the components in this specific procedure itself is acting properly align it by HP as "Self-Aligned Imprint Lithography," SAIL briefly described.
A screen like eBooks, just better
The manufacturing process should be compared with conventional production techniques have a number of advantages offer. The most important: It saves energy and material. Furthermore, the so-called thin-film transistors layer by layer in a particularly inexpensive procedures to foil upset. Besides, the technique has the effect that the display films are extremely durable. A video in which several scientists destruction screen tests with the slide shows reflect how tough the material is.

Overall, 90 percent less raw materials than standard displays, according to HP for the production needed. This fact should now also be particularly advantageous prices, the manufacturer promises. Notebooks, mobile phones and other electronic devices through the innovative display that is cheaper instead of more expensive.
And they will be equipped with new features and also economical in its consumption. That should be achieved by the HP Vizplex technology, a type of electronic ink from E-Ink in the film screens fitted. In this way, the new plastic displays a similar function as eBooks, electronic books. An image that once on the screen, there will continue to exist even when the power is turned off. This works only with still images, but is still a good possibility the battery life of mobile devices to improve.
A giant business - in a few years
Vinita Jakhanwal the analyst from research firm iSuppli that HP has with the flexible plastic screens, a golden arrow in the quiver. According to his calculations, the global demand for bending screens in the coming years to grow rapidly. In 2007 were 80 million U.S. dollars, with flexible displays implemented, it will be until 2013, according to Jakhanwal already be 2.8 billion U.S. dollars.
So that they can meet forecast, it certainly once appropriate screens in industrially useful quantities of good quality and favorable prices to give. That, however, will still take a while. Finally, the film presented now display only a prototype, far from the mass production center.
In a few years but could face following the example of the type presented now be mass-produced. About the possibilities that such indestructible and will offer flexible screen, until then may still eager to be speculating and fantasized.
