Coming soon...a computer screen that bends, just like paper
Your next computer may just have a screen that is flexible and paper-thin. Just imagine a computer screen that can bend without breaking! The features that go into making this new generation computer will also make it faster and more efficient.

Work on this material has been on since 2003 and a breakthrough is expected soon! These transistors will also be more bright and efficient. This new technology is being used to make the screen of your computer flexible and transparent. They will also save electricity and money because they will not need backlighting which your laptop now needs.
With such low energy needs, the computer is not just becoming smarter, lighter and more flexible but it is also great for the health of the environment.
There’s a lot of excitement in Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science where they are conducting experiments to bring out such a material.
What more would you ask for in a computer screen?
