Printable, Foldable, Stretchable, Rubbery OLED Displays
Rubbery Computer Screens Can Be Bent, Folded, and Even Crumpled – Discover Magazine
Would you like to wear your Facebook profile on the sleeve of your T-shirt? Or maybe the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude would like to wrap a building in computer screens? Such marvels may one day be possible due to a stretchy display researchers created by connecting organic light-emitting diodes to a new rubbery conductor. Researchers say the display is remarkably durable–they bent it, folded it in half, and even crumpled it up without affecting its performance. What’s more, the display, which is thinner and less power-hungry than equivalent plasma and LCD screens, is produced through a cheap industrial printing process.
No, I don’t want to wear my Facebook profile on my sleeve, but wrapping a building with these rubbery OLED displays is just the ticket for some synthetic invisibility fun.
