To quote from Eink's blurb for Mobius displays:
Quote:
For an end customer, a flexible display has several benefits outside of the flexibility of the display itself. Plastic-based TFTs allow the end product to be substantially lighter and thinner than products using glass-based TFTs. In addition, glass-based TFTs can be fragile; use of plastic-based TFTs can result in a more rugged end product with less breakage in the electronics due to drops or stress tension.
The weight savings with plastic TFTs can make a significant difference in the end products' specs

And a quote from Nathan's the-ebook-reader.com blog:

By comparison Mobius displays weigh less than half as much as an equivalent glass-based display. E Ink states that a 13.3″ Mobius panel only weighs about 60 grams.
