Philips showed off a technology we’ve been waiting a long time for: the rollable display.
This is essentially a fully functional grayscale display that you can bend (or roll). The demo station showed the display being updated in real time while continuously being rolled and unrolled.
Philips says they have rolled the display over 25,000 times without failure. It also uses very little power because the display only draws power during updates. The display will retain the last image written to it for several months without needing any power. It also retains its image perfectly while being bended or rolled even with no power applied. The display could be a huge boost for reading electronic text away from a desktop computer.
For more info on the rollable display shown by Philips look at www.polymervision.com. You can find some nice pictures and a video at the website (Technology -> download).
For those of us unable to attend a show like CES, I appreciate the quality and focus of your coverage. It's a nice reminder that you guys are still as dedicated as ever to Anandtech, as the quality of some recent articles had left me wondering. Thanks.
My god, you could heat a house with that quad SLI system! What I want to know is how they plan to cool the inner heatsinks on those cards. This would be a really good use for a modded version of the Zalman TNN case.
Of course, they should ditch the dual Prescott (if that's what it is) and go with a custom Yonah board.
They'd be better off with a much longer heatsink with the fan perhaps sticking out the end, or something like that.
