Whenever they just shut up in the PR department and just focus on talking on their own products Is when I truly love Sony. Sony released today the new "bendable" and transparent organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology. These are the new prototypes featuring an OLED at a mere 0.2 mm thick. The prototype devices are a Vaio notebook, a flexible e-book, and a Walkman bracelet, sorry no PSP2 yet but hey, this is a step into the right direction!
Pure
Sleek
Sexyness...
Possible?
I remember Sony releasing almost 3 years ago in 2007, the prototype of this Paper touch screen LED technology. What they showed back then was a simple video playing on this thin paper plastic while being bent back and forth. Now finally after 3 years of development it is finally shown for commercial use. When I saw this I knew this was the next step in computers and future technology and was really excited because soon we will be doing Minority Report computing.
Ok enough of the small talk, time to see it in action...
Drooling yet? While this post is not based on actual video games, you can't help but wonder what type of can come with this type of technology. 100" HDOLED that you staple to your wall? Those PSP2 concept that kept everyone wishing Sony would do?
I hope Sony releases this into the market, I hope they don't make it expensive... I hope they do find some sort of way to use this technology to cut prices down and do more. This technology makes the Macbook Air and new Kindle look like a fat elephant.
I remember seeing the first video of the paper screen tech, glad to see it's actually getting developed into something cool. That bracelet is pretty sexy as well.
@DanCiti, yea remember these are still concepts so they will get better. I think Sony is just showing off their muscle before they fully release it so they can get more stock investments now.
Nevertheless this is a superb accomplishment and all other companies will borrow/follow.

They can keep that Bendy shit.
That Vaio and Walkman look amazing though, Sony needs to get those through testing and any other kind of production phases and out to the public!
