HP and the Flexible Display Center (FDC) at Arizona State University (ASU) today announced the first prototype of affordable, flexible electronic displays.

Flexible displays are paper-like computer displays made almost entirely of plastic. This technology enables displays to become easily portable and consumes less power than today's computer displays. Popular applications for the technology could include electronic paper and signage.

The production feat is a milestone in the industry's efforts to create a mass market for high-resolution flexible displays. Plus, from an environmental standpoint, the displays leapfrog conventional display processes by using up to 90 percent less materials by volume.

Very neat to see things like this coming out. 10 years ago these types of things were looked upon as science fiction and we're making them come to life.
