Flexible gadgets are undeniably sexy – but Japanese electronics giant Sony wasn’t content stopping there. For their newest display, they decided to also throw in ultra-thinness (just 80μm or a bit thinner than a human hair) and the energy-saving power of OLEDs into the mix. The new prototype is so bendy that it can be wrapped around a pencil. From electronic newspapers to LED garments, just think about the applications such a display could be used for!

this kind of technology would be awesome if developed into camoflage tech, This super thing display could be used to create an almost perfect invisibilty armor. Use it on tanks, anything needing better camoflage abilties.

This would also be a good idea in PC mods. You could literally splash a low voltage, low heat display on the side of your case and display anything with very little modding ability.

The uses are vast and only need real-world-ready tech to prove it!
