World's First Flexible Touchscreen Display

ASU's Flexibile Display Center and military industries partners have claim to producing the first active-matrix display with a flexible touchscreen. Mainly designed for military applications,
The device uses an active-matrix electrophoretic display tech from E-Ink Corp. along with materials from DuPont Teijin Films for the flexible touchscreen instead of the typical glass used in today's touchscreens. The device only draws current when content is being changed, not once it is displayed. Users can write on the display and store their content or erase it.The display is much thinner than current glass touchscreens and will be rugged to withstand battlefield environments.

Unbreakable electronic displays, bendable demo by HP and ASU

Nearly four years after Arizona State University opened its very own flexible display center comes this, a prototype device that's purportedly easy to manufacture, easy on the environment and practically as strong as Thor. HP and ASU have teamed up to demonstrate the fresh e-displays, which are constructed almost entirely of plastic and consume far less power than traditional computer monitors. The "unbreakable displays" were crafted using self-aligned imprint lithography (SAIL) technology invented in HP Labs, and while we'd love to see this in a pliable laptop at CES 2009, we suspect it'll be a few years yet before these slither out to the commercial realm.
