Flexible Screen Tecnology
In the future, the mobile phone will be our flexible friend. It will be able to
change shape to
tell us when we receive a message. A model called MorePhone has been created by
scientists at
the Human Media Lab in Canada. It’s based on flexible plastic technology developed
in Cambridge
in the UK by an organisation called Plastic Logic. Rachel Lichten, who works at
Plastic Logic,
describes how the scientists there have developed a process for manufacturing
flexible plastic
displays which are as thin as paper. They copy the appearance of writing on paper
and use a type
of plastic to create layers of electronic transistors.
The flexible screens can be any size, and are easy to read in direct sunlight. They
can be black
and white or colour and are very thin and light – Lichten says you can even jump on
them. They
use very little power, so there is no need for large batteries, and this makes them
easy to carry
around. Lichten says this technology could be used for heart monitoring, smart-
watches, second
screens for mobile phones – because the image does not disappear, your phone can
keep your
boarding card details for a flight for FORM even when your phone’s battery is
dying. Plastic Logic
is also working with a Japanese company who make giant electronic signs.
Plastic Logic have spent 13 years developing this new technology. Their challenge
now is to
help customers to think of new ways to use it. Lichten says it is always the same
with new
technologies. She says ‘bringing new technology to the market is a challenge,
especially because
it is revolutionary.
