The flexible transparent plastic used in the TFT-LCD may allow the screens to be used in clothing (we're in for it now!!!): Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., announced today that it has developed the world's largest transmissive TFT LCD (thin-film transistor, liquid crystal display), with sufficiently high resolution to display digital television content."</i><br /><br />So if everyone has one of these on their backs say, when standing in line everyone could watch TV on the person in front of them!

What if you had a little camera on your front and the display on your back showed what it saw. Then the people behind you would be like looking through you. Woa, dude, that's spooky.
