flexible touchscreen display
Looks like flexible touchscreen e-ink displays aren't that far off. Now if only the sony PRS700 was using this.
Note: The article is calling it an "active-matrix display" but it is using a Visplex display. link |

Whilst flexible screens are a potential asset, especially with larger sized screens, it'll be interesting to see how sticky finger-prints will be catered for...

However, I don't think any of the flex displays coming out this year are touch screens. |

How easy would it be to damage the surface - at least sufficiently to affect the sensitivity ? |
