Market researcher Displaybank published a report (http://www.displaybank.com/eng2004/research/report.php?mode=show&id=302) ($$) which aims to predict the market for flexible displays for the next ten years. Basically the market will grow from $280m USD in 2010 to $5.9b USD in 2015, and to $12.2b USD in 2017, according to Tech-On who has a summary (http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20070509/132201/) of the report.

Moreover, Displaybank predicts that we'll have 50-inch and larger e-paper devices by 2013. Can anyone elaborate if 50-inch would still qualify as hand luggage?

Can anyone elaborate if 50-inch would still qualify as hand luggage?"I'm sorry, sir, but it must fit in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you." :laugh4:

So, can we hope for something like this in 2013 ?

Amazing how people claim to be able to make IT-tec predictions over a range of 6 years. In such an interval you see completely new technologies emerge, wildly fluctuating prices, the public taste and fashion chances IMO unpredictably....but we'll see.
