A guess at ranked practical benefits of this screen:
1. Reduced risk of phone breaking from a drop.
2. Thinness (More room for a battery and other components)
3. Lightness (More leeway for other heavier components)
4. Bendability? (not sure it even makes the list for a mobile phone), though if bended for side displays or around the entire phone.. could be.. interesting, maybe. Jury is out for mobile phone applications - could be really cool for other applications, maybe.
I wonder about differences in efficiency, reflectivity, brightness, viewing angle, resolution, etc, too.
- pjc50 13y agoDepending what the bend radius and elasticity is, it could be hugely valuable. It makes it possible to have a display that is larger than your pocket. It would also be very valuable for "smartwatches", like Pebble, or other fashion tech like Nike "Fuel Band".
- RogerL 13y agoThe ars article says the bend radius (400mm) is far to modest to allow that.
