Fujitsu provides bendable/low-power display
The most interesting things are in my opinion:
- It doesn't draw power when the information is not changed, and content is remembered, as opposed to TFT/LCD displays that are always refreshed.
- It uses a different layer for each color, which means no filters are needed, increasing the color range.
- Hopefully this will also be cheaper to produce than LCDs in the long run, as no protective glass is needed etc.
- Possibly (and I'm just guessing now) touch pads could be fully integrated with the displays, enabling low-cost combination components. Also feature phones could make good use of touch pads.
