Sony OLED display plays video, rolls up

Sony has developed a super thin flexible display that can be rolled up like a pencil, the manufacturer announced today.

The OTFT-driven OLED display is 4.1 inches and 432×240 pixels (121ppi), with a curvature radius of just 4mm. Capable of displaying images and video, it can be “winding up” while content is still playing. The makers said they did tests with no apparent damage to the quality of the display even after rolling up one thousand times.

Unfortunately there’s no word yet on when we might be able to see these displays in our daily lives, though it should give whole new meaning to phrases like “Roll VT”!
