These development efforts promise to reshape the global display industry and will open the door to a range of new consumer devices with flexible displays, said Cheng-Chung Lee, deputy director of ERSO's Flat Panel Display Technology Division."</i><br /><br />This could spark major changes in consumer electronics; perhaps even revolutionize many key product categories such as mobile devices. Imagine how thin product designers could make hardware built around these new displays. Could this technology even help usher in the acceptance of eBooks? One can only hope.
