British Create Flexible Computer Screens
Posted on: Friday, 22 September 2006, 12:00 CDT
Engineers at England's Cambridge University are developing a computer screen that rolls up, the Cambridge Evening News reports.
Keith Seffen and his colleagues has developed material that can roll up and snap open to form a solid structure and have used that material to create a computer screen that snaps into a roll small enough for a briefcase.
We realized the electronics industry is interested in developing fold-up screens and our technology would allow those screens to snap open to form a solid structure, said Seffen. The structures have 'mechanical memory,' so can be snapped open and shut a huge number of times.
Cambridge Display Technology is backing the development of the electronics needed for flexible computer displays.
