HP and FDC Develop Flexible Electronic Display

Paper-like displays made entirely of plastic may soon be mass produced, thereby lowering the cost of electronic devices such as laptops, cell phones and other electronic devices.

HP and the Flexible Display Center (FDC) at Arizona State University (ASU) have developed the first prototype of low cost, flexible electronic displays using HPs SAIL Technology.

The robust paper-like computer displays are mostly made of plastic making them easily portable whilst also consuming less power than displays available today. The process used to make the displays uses up to 90 % less materials by volume than conventional methods.
