Roll up laptop displays on the way
As reported in the Sydney Morning Herald and in a very nice blog site--nice if you're interested in all things display--Displayblog, a company called Cambridge Display Technology, is developing a flexible display technology.
The technology, polymer light emitting diode technology, will deposit conductive metal tracks on to plastic and or glass substrates.
The results will be a flexible tube that can be unfurled and locked into place for your viewing pleasure.
Imagine the day that you're delayed at the airport and you want to take part in an important company video conference. With the flexible display you simply unroll your display, use your cell phone for the video camera and you're in.

This is only a mockup of a display screen to demonstrate the physical behavior of the base structure; there isn't a working prototype yet. The main focus here isn't the display, it's the metal substrate the display would be built on.
Depending on the thickness of the display itself, the unit may not be able to roll up as small as the picture indicates.
