Articles about flexible display

Even if many perceive Sony as a company that build premium products, they are a brand that also focuses on innovation. Innovation is not enough to guarantee success, but definitely helps a lot. In this case we have a flexible display, eInk type, demoed by Sony at a dealer convention.EInk displays are not something new, but the flexible variety surely are. We don't have much info on this tech, as I'm sure Sony is in an early process of development.That's easy to be seen from the picture b...

We've touched the flexible display topic here quite a few times and now we have even more info to talk about. It seems that big manufacturers like Sony and LG are taking this idea very seriously and plan future devices with flexible displays. The flexible display idea is not new, but till today nobody was able to build a prototype that could display color video while flexed. Sony did it, and they even have a video to prove it. LG doesn't have a prototype right now, but has patented a few flexibl...

As we all know much of a touchscreen device lies into the display itself and the technology that make possible for it to register a press and send the coordinates (and pressure in some instances) to the OS that powers the device. And as history proved us, a good display technology makes all the difference in the world.This post is about the recent announcement of Sharp that has developed a display technology that allows the screen to be switched from 2D to 3D and vice versa. It's not touch, ...

It's not the first time we've presented interactive tables on AllTouchTablet.com but it's the first time we show you a flexible one, that bends when touched like the Impress Flexible Interactive Display. Basically Impress prototype's is a foam fitted with pressure sensors and a projector on top that detects users point of interaction. Coupled with the info gathered from the pressure sensors the device is able to 'understand' user actions and act accordingly.This prototype can be used in appl...

Flexible displays are something many dream of for a long time. We even wrote something about them a while ago but clearly we're not there yet. Progress is made, as HP showed a few days ago in a demo of a flexible thin and light display prototype.The presented device is in such early state that it can't survive more than a dozen roll ups, but that's more than enough to get us convinced on this idea. Imagine having a big tablet the size of a 15-17 inch notebook that can be rolled into a small ...

First of all, to get rid of any confusion, the Boogie board LCD writing tablet is not a touchscreen tablet per say, but an advanced Etch A Sketch with the ability to write directly on the screen, a flexible plastic LCD, called Reflex LCD in this case. It's the kind of screen that persistently keeps the info designed on it without needing power.A watch type battery is provided for the Boogie board tablet that allows for up to 50.000 screen resets. The price, 30 $ on Amazon is what makes this ...

Flexible display prototypes were presented during trade shows for some time now, but the actual final product failed to launch yet. This doesn't mean this kind of technology won't ever set foot on market and Nokia is one of the biggest names to support flexible displays. Recently the Finnish manufacturer patented a technology called "User Interface, Device And Method For A Physically Flexible Device", a concept that uses the flexible properties of a gadget's screen to search the web.It sound...
