In the paper titled "Full Color 100 dpi AMOLED Displays on Flexible Stainless Steel Substrates," Dr. Anna Chwang will highlight the performance characteristics of a novel flexible, full-color AMOLED display prototype that is based on the Company's proprietary phosphorescent OLED (PHOLED), top-emitting OLED (TOLED) and flexible OLED (FOLED) technologies. The full-color AMOLED prototype also uses poly-Silicon thin film transistor (TFT) backplanes designed and fabricated by PARC, a subsidiary of Xerox Corporation, and was encapsulated by Vitex Systems."</i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=45511">Rollable displays</a> have just taken a positive step. Universal Display Corporation's OLED 4", 100dpi display prototypes are each just 0.1mm thick, weigh 6g, and are capable of full-colour output. It has the DoD's magic touch, so only the research departments of the Air Force and Army have access to them. But, give a few years, and I'm sure they'll make their way into the consumer electronic market.

This is really awesome news just from the battery perspective. Most of a PDA's battery is usually expended in using the backlight / sidelight. OLED displays can have incredible contrast using extremely low-power pixels and good old natural reflective lighting. Just like paper.
