Sony develops a rollable OLED screen

[DamonX88]

digital newspapers and magazines would be great

[patsprankcalls]

THIS VIDEO IS NEARLY TWO YEARS OLD

[MikeAvenger08]

Look up iScroll

[robthatguyx]

now i want a 1080 by 5760 version :D

[PaulskiMusic]

looks like the screen got broken already. check the lines

[Pennymarkt32]

but i think samsung is a littel further in their prototyping

[asutuh]

ooh they could use that monitor for an easy install car tablet/gps that has that screen and securely connected to the main part (haz buttons,i.e. audio and home, and battery status) and both can be easily attached due to a special durable and sticky back to fit all cars

[lostlego45102]

what do you mean if!! jjust make them and put it in a plastic mold. outdoors thing maybe

[designLED]

It looks good , but seems size a little small .it can be used for big screen ?

[lol59552]

La nouvelle technologie j'aime, dans 5 ans les tablette oled sort dans les grandes surface cava être énorme! J'ai hâte !

[CODMASTA]

dead pixels much?? failol

[onotech]

sony the best

[MrAlexandremarus]

future newspaper

[gadgetboy1234]

loving the dead pixels.

[dfdtdfdx]

this display is light and big

will become a really great product for children and senior

[FrapsYou]

Psvita has it.

[striderender]

I want Optical Camouflage NAO

[pravicpu]

samsung and LG got the advantage. Sony simply does the research for others lol..

[zippL0ck]

the perfect toilet paper , watch TV while you crap & then whipe ur ass on it,

you could even switch to 'Jeremy kyle' before you wipe, just to make it a super satisfying wipe

[ecuadoriangangster]

The PS Vita will have an OLED Screen, but I doubt you'll be able to roll it up :P

[chaotah]

lipstick size cellphone, with a rollable pull out screen. can't wait to get one.

[spiderpig85]

@chaotah Thats what the future of laptops is going to be.

[iranair777]

Nokia has a poor use of flexible screen, sony is more like it

[walter0bz]

now thats what i call hardware scrolling

[earamirezh]

:D

[bigmac43210]

@alfredo2018 dude no freakin lie i was so gonna say this!!

[ssrabits]

they should make rettractable screens on cell phone where you have a standard smart phone where its screen can rettarct from a 2 inch screen to a 7 inch screen. That would be revoulutionary when it comes to mobile technology. It like having a smart phone and tablet in one

[REV7verse9]

@ssrabits we as a people should create and industry that produces these devices for ALL peoples regardless of income level. I want a society with free everything...couldn't we all just volunteer for 3 hours a day to have free everything?

[MakoSucks]

the robot forgot to put weed in it.

[ghnmj153]

將它綁在手腕隨時享用

[Leuel48fan]

wooohoooo NASCAR on OLED :)

[heywood1980]

i just had a fruit rollup

[videogamer1010]

Its found in the PS Vita beotch!

[naathaan13]

@hab33b0 AMOLED or OLED is not own by samsung and sony had the flexible since 2010 samsung had it in 2011

[HawreKoyi1]

Japanese they are crazy people .. how they are making this stuff....Mind blowing tech .

[SirMrRemo]

Haha i'd enjoy a roll up psp



[hab33b0]

im not sure but i think samsung had it first

theyre called AMOLED

[BRBallin1]

i call this the procrastinating machine.

[scoony636]

Pretty soon when we are reading the newspaper it will show video instead of black and white pictures...

[kickerzone]

I like the future :)

[unknowndudewak]

imagine if they create watches with these oled

[urmo345]

@unknowndudewak yea, they will place it everywhere. And bracelets will have video screen on it.

[OMGelectronics]

i think samsung's is better quality video... not neccesarily the resolution, bbut the lines arent there like they are on this sony version

[nazaxprime]

"@alexanderocks

;)

Look into corning's new videos, they have some cool concept advertisements about "their" future... and some funny comments. lol, Apparently, in the future everything has to be a TV.

EVERYTHING!

;P

[nazaxprime]

@alexanderocks I know It is a day later and all, but... considering it is being used right now... Welcome to the future.

[nazaxprime]

Just don't let any drunk hillbilly's try to roll it up or crickity crack... This technology is for robots only.

;P

[sausagelamo]

Is there warranty on the dead pixels?

[MongloBonglo]

how many post doctoral Ph.D. and post-postdoc Ph.D.s were employed to create this, how long did it take, and how expensive was it?

are there manufacturing techniques capable of mass producing them?

how stable are the Organic and inorganic (usually organo-aluminum compounds) towards external light sources (like sunlight) and oxygen?

the simple concise answer to the questions I have just asked:

this is pure "proof of concept" prototype technology. this is what you see in IEEE journal articles.

[yespolybiusyes]

how funny. we went from cave paintings to scrolls to codices to books to digital books and now back to digital scrolls. i want digital cave paintings.

[JonnMcNally]

@yespolybiusyes Cave paintings are not in the same category... It would have to be a digital wall, and actually, that's coming.

[01iamaprofessional]

@yespolybiusyes its called a TV.

[indianajones2929]

@yespolybiusyes its called a tv silly

[MrByootox]

The screen was all lines and poor quality, dont think the rolling back and forward was doing it any good.

[Bolaxao9]

@MrByootox

Newspaper

[KaneinEncanto]

@MrByootox Give them a little more time to work out some of those kinks, this is a prototype after all. Can't wait to have my Global Communicator style smartphone. (Earth Final Conflict item)

[Spielzeit85]

but can it do a barrel roll?

[HumzaAhmed155]

will it blend, that is the question

[DhasseLOL]

In 20 years time we will watch tv on our toilet rolls while taking a dump.

[MrByootox]

@DhasseLOL What will that be...turda-vision lolol !

[urmo345]

@DhasseLOL and tv will be clued on wall like posters

[KaneinEncanto]

A couple more years and Earth: Final Conflict's Global Communicators could be a reality instead of Sci-Fi... then again, Mr Roddenberry seemed to have a knack for unintetionally predicting a lot of advances. o.o

[utubeshighlites]

If you can make thin film flexible solar panels, batteries, intergrated circuits on flexible circuit board, and thin flexible displays... If you put them all together you could make electronics so thin. You could make a credit card sized (and thicknes) movie player. If you could make it a touchscreen it would become an all-rounded media player... That fits in your wallet!!!

[HeadShot360IN]

@utubeshighlites woot aboot thoo batterooo??

[vinceraptor]

@utubeshighlites That is an incredible idea! I really hope that happens soon. With the speed of technology and how fast its advancing it better happen in the next 10 years :)

[fredghostkyle]

if there was no glishes in the screen i would buy it in a HART BEAT

[SLIPKNOT0fan1]

c the lines?

[wisprworld]

I hope they make toilet paper with OLED. So when I don't like what i see it would serve as a double purpose.

[cookies4lifeXD]

hehe imagine clothing made of it.. you could change the paterns and never get bored :D

and then you could surf the web on your jacket???

imagine...

for now i would be happy to carry a tv around inside my purse.

god bless technology

[GamersWeekly123]

This is the future of Personal Stealth Technology!

[Zingam]

Damn! If somebody does this to my cell phone display I'll kill him!

[pinpoint45]

@Zingam why? this just means that your cell phone screen will have a less chance of breaking .

[Zingam]

@pinpoint45

:D That was a joke, dude! ;)

[pinpoint45]

@Zingam ah i gotcha :P

[InfoAlliance]

the rollable aspect of it is really cool, but the thinness of it amazes me.

[anibal120]

Ta jevi pero no veo en k nos puede ayudar a los humanos...

[butterfaceG]

remember like way back then when they had scrolls with just a map on it Xd

[8302967]

been done before.Tennessee Tuxedo and Chumley always visited

Professor Whoopee.look it up

[forsalololo95]

If you roll the screen inwards and you stand in the middle of the roll it would make tv awesome.

[mikzerlolz]

@forsalololo95 True that

[LovaBoij]

imagine this with a web browser connected to it, and rolled up like some old papyrus rolls or some shit.. would be sweet man!

[MyDogBarksToU]

Life is starting to look life futurama... D:

[TheLonelyForce]

@MyDogBarksToU

AND THAT'S BAD?!?!

[pa3kj0shua]

Next... transparent LCD screens?

[cLick1333]

@pa3kj0shua We already have those , you know.

[pa3kj0shua]

@cLick1333 No, I mean, a flexible transparent display... that would be epic

[pberglin]

great, now the next iphone will unfold and form a 60 inch tv that can be folded back and fit in your pocket and can hold all the movies ever made and songs ever recorded and kids will then spend 10 hours a day in front of it instead of 8

[ahmadkurabi]

this with a touch screen would make the future iphone

[shikori7]

@ahmadkurabi Ironic this with a touch screen is making the psp2 which is out christmas

[ahmadkurabi]

@shikori7 ya , but I meant it to be that thin ... ooh and BTW it's ironic too that the iphone and the android phones are cuzing companis like sony to die :P

[Asiats1]

Great. Now everything on screen will look deformed.

[bloodaid]

coke addicts can roll this screen up to snort coke

[3rni3PL]

@bloodaid hell ya

[BboyMrLazy]

Scissors.

[Xilosphere]

@BboyMrLazy Knife.

[PenguinWalrus0]

Now all they need to do is make is sticky so we can paste it on the wall like a poster :D

[Authilus]

I see animated snack wraps and food boxes, and merchandise packaging in general finding a use for this technology as being highly probable. Can't wait to go buy a bag of Doritos with a bag that continuously shows me a little commercial about why I should buy another bag after I finish it. O.o

[resurface51]

@ROFLance I disagree strongly. This technology will completely change the computing/digital world as we know it once fully developed. I agree with Steve Jobs and Bill Gates and think devices that were once specialized: GPS, television, home computers, cell phones, PC's, game systems, paper and pencil, schoolbooks and more will all be packaged in one device and this technology is key to that end. Imagination will come to real-life, in a really big way. that's my 2 cents. :D

[ROFLance]

@resurface51 I agree with you on that, I just wasn't looking that ahead in the future, I was just thinking, "if this technology were perfected today, what would we do with it?"

[jjovereats]

Imagine a netbook where to see the display, you just unfold the case into laptop mode and roll up the screen, turning the PC on to use it if not already on.

[xnazumii]

please release this soon ! T_T

[wereluva]

PLEASE SONY, WE WANT OLED TVS, NOT 3D TVS!!!!

[MrShitthead]

@wereluva i want a 3D tv, i just can't afford one... :(

[peanuts2105]

@MrShitthead Don't worry, you're not missing much. Get a properly sorted HDTV and the pictures will have great depth of field without 30% light reduction and you don't have to look like a tit wearing those silly glasses

[HumzaAhmed155]

@wereluva 3D OLED TVS ?

[wereluva]

@HumzaAhmed155 meh....arent 3D TVs like dead now? havent heard about them for a while....

[ramanturbz]

@wereluva YESS, i'm fine with my LED TV too, but OLED would be awesome. I really don't get the big hype over 3D TV's, its not new technology, 3D has been out since forever, now they implement it in a regular TV...meh. If you want a 3D TV which you will barely use the 3D features for, and that cause eye strain, than be my guest buy it, but if you want a product which has a lot of potential, OLED is the way to go :D

[AHW214]

@wereluva

what about 3d oled tvs

[ERTLPFM]

@wereluva Even better- A 3d OLED TV

[jolleyboy2]

TV in a pen anyone?

[HawkXe]

future tv toilet paper. watch tv while pooping.

[marko94ns]

@HawkXe or if you hate a show whipe your ass with it :D :D

[cbbatista]

@HawkXe I am.. Pooping right now.

And I'm not on the toilet.

[PSNDonutDude]

The thing people forget about these is that it still needs a thick part for all the hardware. You will never get a 6" screen without wires or an electric board attached.

[TheNorthFuck]

@PSNDonutDude True but think if they make it so the hardware is detachable. You could detach the hardware whatever the size of that may be, and roll up your 60' screen, put it in a tube and take it to a friends house to watch a ball game or a movie. It would make rather large objects that are normally a hassle to move around easy.

[obs301]

@PSNDonutDude never say never

[ronniepage]

i await those annoying cereal boxes in minority report

[MrSintharas]

In the next years, we might have an authentic version of the Daily Prophet for HP-Fans :D

[666Belami666]

in 5years,moving pictures in newspaper .... xD

[mattmit]

Thats going to really piss me off when I'm trying to watch the racing! I'm never buying one of these>

[BlueJayke]

I can't wait till they have iPhones with OLED screens!

[TheTechAdmin]

They could make soldier camouflage out of a bunch of these. Along with light detectors, they could lay flat anywhere and blend right in.

[fightingmexican707]

Aleeks831 smart but not water proof

[walter0bz]

Hopefully oled will allow decent mass market hi-res head-mount display,

would settle for a flexible adjustable cylindrical panoramic monitor in the meantime

[aleeks831]

Anyone see applications in instant-camouflage clothing :P?

[renato2354]

gt5, cool.

[Greorgy]

that's pretty cute

[KillerFirefly7]

WOW

Forget upgrading to LCD, Plasma, LED, OLED or even 3D.

Prepare for flexible 3D OLED :D

[radtwelve]

wonder what those lines are. did anyone notice the rough lines on the screen?

[JaySoKnown]

@radtwelve

They're still working on it, that's why.. :)

[Subtalvik2]

How sensitive are they to light and water though, those important outdoor hazards.

[BravoCharlieTV]

Dear Sony - please develop a 1920 x 1080 HD a4 sized display that can be rolled into a 1 inch diameter, capacitive touch screen, powered by an integrated power/video cable to a side unit that is a credit card sized brick 1 cm thick, half of it a li-ion battery sitting below an atom processor with 4g / wifi antenna, 500 gb ssd, onboard graphics / sound with line-out, USB2.0 and SD card slot.

Please do it within 4 years (or 2 if you are simply amazing) and price it for less than $400 AUD.

[Crozonexz]

The really groundbreaking thing about this is the flexible driver chips that are built into the screen. If you scan flex the chips, you have he potential to make flexible processors, you can have flexible video players. Anyone for a roll up Walkman?

[greenhorny11]

@Crozonexz the other thing is that you don't need metal, which we have only limitated, there's only organic material made out of Carbon, Hydrogen, and i think Nitrogen, Oxygen and some other, but this resources we have nearly unlimitated, everywhere! that's the other real groundbreaking thing

[Crozonexz]

@greenhorny11 It's not so much that silicon is limited, but that it's expensive. With this, you can print computer chips using ink onto any durable organic polymer, ie the same stuff plastic money is made out of. They are already making solar panels on flexible substrates, which is much cheaper than making traditional solar cells. The potential for this technology is huge, because it could end up being really, really cheap. 

[greenhorny11]

@Crozonexz but flat displays, dont only use silicon, they use selden earth metals, this is limited. i know this with solar cells, but there are although a lot of problems to be solved, but think positiv =) this is the future no question, we don't have the choice, because all other resources are limited. or we go back to stone-age XD

[no1uno5]

haha soon harry potter newspapers and pictures wont look so fake

[goobot1]

i want my walls to be tv. maybe my clothes too.

[Superflykid2008]

@goobot1

haha...dude, what if everyone wore clothes that changed pictures. This could start something epic!!!

[TheHassanAlaw123four]

OMG! A TV now is a poster in the future

[JasCrip88]

For people who don't understand the potential of this....this is something that in time you'll be able to fill the walls in your living room. This isn't the end product, it's just a prototype.

[Superflykid2008]

@JasCrip88

just think. You may never have to pain the wall EVER again!!! You can digitally change the color, or upload new images via wi-fi...

[hydrobot2003]

next... toilet paper that has your favorite TV programs so you will never miss a program again when you have to go to the toilet!

[EGarrett01]

@hydrobot2003

"next... toilet paper that has your favorite TV programs"

Does that mean I can wipe my ass High School Musical?

[metalny]

@hydrobot2003 Or Wipe your ass with it if it SUCK ASS:)

[MrShitthead]

@hydrobot2003 HAHA i can finally wipe my ass with Paris Hilton's face!!!

[cprich22]

@hydrobot2003 or you can wipe yr arse wiv it if u dont like it lol

[Scrabbler27]

@hydrobot2003 Thats really funny PMSL

[BoxRoomStudio]

@hydrobot2003 with the added bonus of being able to wipe your arse with jeremy kyles face.

[RussiaFreak545]

@hydrobot2003 yes, i think this isn´t even unlikely

[XenonTheWarriorGas]

@hydrobot2003 FINALLY! I can wipe my ass with my most hated TV shows....literally.

[leoamadeus]

@XenonTheWarriorGas Lol!!!

[areposo]

@hydrobot2003 i would like to wipe my ass with justin bieber or those disney shitheads

[ihasmario]

@hydrobot2003 Now you can watch shit while you shit. I'll be wiping my arse with Big Bang Theory

[mikey9890]

whats the point of having it rollable? just a simple question lol

[ROFLance]

@mikey9890 Having a rollable screen that size isn't too practical, however, the flexibility of it would prevent your screen from cracking in a cell phone or other portable device. Think about larger screens though.. imagine having a 60" rollable 1080p OLED TV that you can roll up into a tube and take anywhere...

[EmperorOfMars]

@ROFLance No more wii-mote accidents.

[greenhorny11]

@ROFLance or hos abaout an i-Pad you can roll... or a keyboard you can roll out, is no problem to integrate touch sensitive elements. once finally developed there seem to be no limits. and did you know that they print these display? ink-jet like system, fast and cheap, no metal is used, only organic compunds (no limit of avayability) nice futur

[RaymondGarland]

@ROFLance Well, think of portable DvD/Movie/TV players you can roll up into your pocket and take out and un-roll to watch on the train, bus, or airplane.

[BennyHarassi]

@ROFLance think bigger though, if computer chips shrink to paper-thin sizes we coul dbe wearing touch-screen computers around our arms

[johnyjoe2k]

@ROFLance

That'll be the day I shit myself..

[subReme]

@ROFLance now use that for your science fair project, be awesome.

[neriphis]

@ROFLance no but it would allow you to have a thinner screen and make it easier to take with you or be broken in a childens room

[Silentrunn]

@mikey9890 Remember Minority Report when the train rider was reading the newspaper?

[mikey9890]

@Silentrunn what?

[flimflabber777]

i never thought this would be real wow

[igorsaraiva]

that's the iPADs REVOLUTION coming soon...
