    but whose gonna use them when companies can adopt better technology

    OLED displays are …
    OLED displays are much better at high contrast vivid image reproduction. Also, “sony’s OLED has been around for more than 3 years”[sic] is just irrelevant.

    First, you’re just …
    First, you’re just restating your “argument”, a common fallacy among the unlearned. You also demonstrate your ignorance or perhaps poor reading comprehension by stating that “oled…is better technology”[sic]. Uhhhh…No. OLED Displays are *different* technology — e-ink and OLED displays are used for different purposes. Did you not read my first message? E-ink displays require no power when the image displayed is static, plus, they’re much more durable.

    by the way did you see the samsung’s oled ? it can bend less than 1 mili meter

    oh yeah and sony’s …
    oh yeah and sony’s OLED has been around for more than 3 years plus it can bend better plus its oled which is better technology

    “from the video”[ ...
    "from the video"[sic] “you can tell the OLED is more flexible”[sic] — Man, that’s really scientific. If you actually do some research, you’ll find out that these displays have bending radii less than 2 centimeters depending on how much heavyweight environmental plastic they layer on for durability. Also, did you not notice the reply just above your first message where I mention that ASU/HP/E-Ink have come out with a color version?

    from the video …
    from the video comparison you can tell the OLED is more flexible and i mean OLED is colored not black and white, that screen only has black and white colors

    More flexible? I …
    More flexible? I wonder what would happen if you dropped a brick on it? And of course it’s “more colorful” if you by “colorful” you mean “brighter”. Since it’s an OLED –Organic *Light Emitting* Diode– display, it will be more vivid as the light is emitted and not reflected as with an e-ink display — but one of the main points of this e-ink display is that since the display is purely reflective, it requires *no power* when the image displayed is idle.

    Sony’s OLED is more flexible and colorful

    in a not long from now this will be cheaper than real paper.

    If you read the description, I stated that they just released a full color RGB prototype which is based off of the same process/technology.

    Sony’s display is …
    Sony’s display is OLED based — this one is an “e-ink” bistable electrophoretic display ie.the only time power is required is when a pixel or pixel(s) need to be updated. Once in their new state (white or black) the display draws no power. Sony’s display is not as flexible, and certainly not as strong/rugged as ASU/HP/E-Ink’s display.(Which is why this project is funded in part by the U.S. military)

    Sony has had this stuff for a year now, thinner, and in full color. :|

    it is a flexible display.
    It’s not O-led technology is a new technology called E-Ink. It’s pretty strong against external damage and bending, how you cant see from the test
