Bend it like paper

Electronic paper is getting almost as bendy as real paper, thanks to a new way of making the plastic electronics that drive the display. The material has a flexible plastic base, rather than the thin steel or glass of other e-papers.
Philips of the Netherlands this week unveiled the e-paper, which is only 0.3 millimetres thick and flexible enough to wrap around your thumb. Previous e-papers broke if wrapped around a drinks can. The ultimate aim is to have a display that can be rolled up into a cylinder the thickness of a ballpoint pen for use in tiny pull-out displays.
