Universal Display To Parade Prototype Flexible AMOLED Communication Device At CES 2009
January 11, 2009
Ubergizmo:
[CES 2009] Universal Display will be showing off
its prototype flexible AMOLED communication device at Digital
Experience 2009, an event under the CES 2009 umbrella. This unique
device was manufactured with support from the U.S. Department of
Defense, offering a wrist-worn flexible AMOLED communication device
that is fabricated on metal foil, offering portability, ruggedness and
conformability in a single device. Since OLED displays are extremely
efficient and energy saving, this ultra-thin display is able to show
off beautiful images at a wide viewing angle in a novel form factor
without being powered by a bulky battery, making it suitable for
wearing on the wrist without having to have biceps as large as WWE
wrestlers. Apart from watch phones, we would be interested to see where
else this technology can be applied.
