Philips Rollable Display Demo

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.

Is that Serenity that I'm seeing on the Toshiba laptop playing back in high definition? If so, WHERE CAN I BUY IT?!!! and How much?

Motorola Bluetooth Pen*s by Troll4Hire on Monday, January 09, 2006
Is it just me, or am I the only one who saw the Motorola Bluetooth headset and laughed because it looks like a penis and testicles?

Vaio by Jynx980 on Monday, January 09, 2006
The Vaio on "The Four Viiv PCs Worth Mentioning" looks a lot like a cash register with the keyboard on top.

That rollable display is pretty neat, but how does it work? For something that thin, would you have to use some really small batteries or what?

Keep up the Good Work! by AndrewChang on Saturday, January 07, 2006
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.

Quantum3D Mercury, anyone?

It is interesting that the Quad SLI actually is stated to have over 40Gpixels/s output which is about 4 times the power shown in the graph there:
