Dude.....porno magazines with video pages.

"Yes, just what I want-a video advertisement for Sony plastered through my Playboy and Sports Illustrated magazines."

Or Playboy movies plastered through my PC Magazine.......'cause that'd be terrible.

Imagine getting a birthday card in the mail that's actually a video of a loved one sending greetings imposed on that flexi-screen.

You kidding? If these were being placed in magazines, I'd be taking them and hacking them to display whatever I want. Little thin SideShow monitors.

Any idea what resolution they are capable of?

what if they become so cheap that companies begin plastering actual video advertisements in print media?
Then we're looking at 3 mm think video wall paper.

Can you say PSP-2?

Beer commerials on beer bottles.......could be cool......if you can stop the audio...

Imagine moving day, and you can roll up your TV and haul it away.

DUDE... Birthday cards with videos of girls in birthday suits!!!!
What's wrong with that????

Now Sony, please print me one up in 1080 rez and about 65" and another in 24" UXWGA for monitor... Would ya?
I'll be the first to buy them. OKEY DOKEY?

Take that Daily Prophet!

I particularly like the red and green lines going through the kid's face.

How and in what world do we expect video screens to be cheap? Is the screen not one of the single most expensive parts of gadgets these days?

Dude, so cool but by the time this gets to the market at a reasonable price it'll be at least a decade.

"Shit"

Damn, i just replaced my beefy crt tv for an lcd, and its already starting to look fat...
Sony must be run by anorexic 16yr old girls or something.

maybe it has something to do with this

I saw this site years ago. Has interesting concepts on it.

That's how thin the next ipod is gonna be.

@Travis - the old company I worked at was a huge fortune 500 and they had a meeting one day with Fujitsu whom showed the same tech inside of a magazine. It had a hard outside binding but was able to change images on the ad and do a type of gif animation.

soooooo many things I'd like to point out about that retarded comment, but il choose one. This product is made by Sony. How on EARTH can you conceive the idea that Sony will ever hand this technology to apple ( The company dominating them in their own market). I'm sure Sony already has patents on it, so...yeah. no.

Most gadgets out there are made with parts from various companies. Apple does not make their own screens, actually, there is not a single part in an iPod that is manufactured by Apple. So yeah, there may be a chance (however unlikely) that this technology would make it into an iPod.

Sony sux penguin penis

holy crap! that's SOOOOO amazing!

lol deal with it giz...just deal with it :-P

i'd like to remind everyone of the movie "children of men" they had e-ink all over the friggin place.

i look forward to this technology making laptops much cheaper, lightweight, and maybe even using less electrisitiy (and thereby prolonging battery life). course when this technology replaces monitors on laptops i hope like hell you can take em off and replace em with new ones. so that when i break it (and i know i will) i can easily take it off, and put a new one on.

Hot dammm, one day I'll be able to throw my Wii-mote at my 50" Sony TV as hard as I want with this new technology.

rfayed, have not Apple been using Sony Batt?
Of course, in this case, this technology will first debut on Sony's lineups but Sony will eventually sell the component or license the tech. Ipod already has deeper and more diverse market penetrations, and Sony will probably bring in more revenue by supplying it to Apple as oppose to keeping exclusivity. I think the rumor alone that Sony would supply Apple would increase both companies' stock values.

-cereal box in Minority Report.
-Fullscreen windshield: road-condition, traffic info
-display sunglasses (activated when stationary)

are some of the interesting possibilities, but with this tech plastered all over products, imagine how animated a supermarket aisle would be.

what would really be amazing is if the cost of powering these was so tiny, and the battery packs were so small that it was worth it to put them in magazines. then we'd all be set. but even then it'd probly be more economical for each person to just have one magazine where all the pages were these screens so you could just downloaded a new issue every month. of course only after someone hacked it and removed all the ads.

Remember, it's not 3mm thick, its .3mm thick. Thats only a few sheets of paper stuck together. I totally am down with vid ads on tshirts, in mags, and wrapped around my soda can.

One other thing: for my birthday my wife got me a card that played the star wars theme when you opened it. Imagine Hallmark cards with full video messages.

Whoa...Video bed sheets !

all of these ideas are terrible, or just horrible jokes.

What i'd want to see is a wraparound watch design with PVP features built into a mp3 player-sized control module which would stream audio/video/global time/gps? to different parts of your watch. for example, if you were watching video or playing audio, it would be on the top, whereas the time would be displayed on the bottom part so you would glance at the wrist portion.

no, i don't know.

Hey, fuck you, buddy!

i dont understand how this is so new to people. OLED technology has been around pretty long. plenty of cell phones already use OLED screens.

I think that one big promise of this technology lies in solar cells. imagine being able to print a solar cell onto a piece of plastic using a modified ink jet printer. that is a possibility with this technology.
