Philips is pioneering flexible screen technology
Flexible displays on the horizon
The future will be flexible, as screens you can roll up and pop into a jacket pocket enter mass production, argues technology analyst Bill Thompson.
As anyone who knows me will agree, I find it hard to go through a week without quoting science fiction writer William Gibson's assertion that "the future has arrived - it's just unevenly distributed".
I have always taken Gibson to mean that consumer technologies, like phones and TVs and computers, take a long time to develop and bring to market.
