"Last week Sony demonstrated its new flexible screen technology, a
wafer-thin colour display that may start out being used for moving adverts
in magazines but could let us turn almost any surface into a screen.

Flexible screens

LG Philips and Universal Display Corporation have their own full-colour
flexible screen, with a 320 by 240 pixel display, while Cambridge Display
Technology continues to develop its own flexible screens based around
polymer LEDs.

We're also seeing devices with new displays built in to them, like the Sony
Reader, or the new Readius from Polymer Vision which has a screen that
wraps around and unfolds to let you read from its greyscale display.

Researchers in the US have managed to solve one of the problems facing
these displays, which is that while the displays themselves can be made
transparent the electronics which control them are opaque.

We now have see-through transistors made with zinc oxide and indium oxide
'nanowires', making it possible to build displays into glasses or car
windscreens.

As an alternative to better displays, phones may soon come with built-in
high-intensity projectors. TI recently demonstrated a projector that can be
used to watch movies or for reading documents without having to get out a
magnifying glass. "


Looks like the small device display problems are getting a decent amout of
brainpower put towards them.
