Sony unveiled prototypes of flexible OLED displays

A Unlike LCD, OLED technology requires no backlight, and thus to develop screens of extreme delicacy, therefore, resist better to twisting. The OLED can also enjoy an excellent brightness, contrast and unmatched to this day (about 1,000,000 for the latest Sony televisions, according to the manufacturer).

Promising, the OLED is also extremely expensive, at least for the moment, and the first flexible screens should not benefit the general public but rather to occupational or military applications. The OLED Association explains that the U.S. military could be one of the first to benefit. It equip its soldiers and OLED screens, part of their equipment, which would replace the paper map or GPS device.

It remains to know when the technology is mature enough for that production costs are no longer an obstacle to its development.
