It took some serious smarts and creativity for the engineers to come up with a flexible screen with such high image quality. Not only is this futuristic new display panel bendable, but it’s as thin as paper so won’t break if it falls.
The most promising candidate to succeed LCDs as the next generation of display-panel technology is organic electroluminescence, which holds the promise of bendable screens and crystal-clear images, perhaps even enabling the creation of wearable display panels.
Companies are striving to develop and commercialize what many believe could be the next big thing in screen technology. In its partnership with the US firm Eastman Kodak Co., Sanyo Electric Co. began the world's first manufacture of active-type full-color organic EL panels this February; Eastman Kodak released digital cameras employing the technology in April. Pioneer Corp., meanwhile, has demonstrated the world's first foldable, passive-type full-color organic EL display prototype. In addition, Hitachi plans to begin release of organic EL products next year, and companies like Sony Corp. and Toshiba Corp. are continuing their development efforts.
