Sony Demonstrates Flexible, Bendable OLED

Next news
9:40 AM - January 12, 2009 by Marcus Yam

Sadly, OLED technology was hard to find at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show. At last year’s CES, Sony had demonstrated a 27-inch OLED television that was both unattainable and gorgeous. At this year’s show, however, all Sony displayed was a tiny, flexible OLED.

Sony’s flexible OLED screen was first shown on stage at Howard Stringer’s morning keynote, with his hand bending an OLED screen playing a Beyonce music video. He joked that it was the only chance one would get to squeeze Beyonce.

We checked out the OLED on the show floor for a closer look. Certainly on first impressions, the screen is definitely not one normally expects from OLED. Instead of gorgeous colors and contrast, the screen was low-resolution. Of course, the focus of the technology was on the flexible display, so quality wasn’t the point.

The display measured 2.5-inches diagonal with a 160 x 120 resolution, and just 0.2 mm thick at 1.5 grams. Sony boasted that the display had “great mechanical flexibility” with a bending radius of less than 2.5 cm.

The idea behind this technology isn’t for super-fantastic looking displays, but rather for more non-traditional applications such as an OLED bracelet. Whatever it’ll be, we can’t wait for OLED to become a relevant technology in the market.

A bendable bracelet seems silly to me, as electronic ink is a much better idea for such an application.

I could only see this being interesting for t-shirt. Like the shirts in the PS3 commercials.

Wow! Are u seriously a professional journalist? Next time walk behind the same display to see the other OLED products including the 27" screen. Or try asking a Sony rep if you can't navigate the floor yourself. Ridiculous....

Just because sony are selling OLED TV's doesnt make them decent products. Their lifetime is short, cost high, brightness decays pretty rapidly over a few hours and the blue light doesnt even come from an OLED. It'll be a very long time before OLED technology becomes the mainstream.
