Peruvemba sits down at a clean table and pulls out a thin letter-sized sheet of steel with a sheet of Vizplex attached to it. Along two sides run a few row-and-column display drivers, the electronics that make the display work. He bends the sheet -- it won’t fold -- then puts it on the table. He pounds it with his fist. It doesn’t break. How unlike a computer. He says this is an engineering sample from a customer that will soon ship an e-newspaper built around it. “We are just weeks away from flexible displays,” he says.
