Polymer Vision shows off unbreakable plastic display in Drop Test Video

Dulin's Books · 08-29-2011, 02:47 PM

A little while ago Polymer Vision showed off their newest 6" plastic rollable eink display in testing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxhCi...eature=related which reportedly can roll over 25,000 times

Now they have posted a new video showing a ball drop test. The glass display of course breaks while the plastic display not only survives but absorbs the impact so well the ball doesnt rebound.

Holy crap. That's awesome!

Is there another thread somewhere that discusses the rollable display?

Good to see that things are progressing on this front.

I was really sad to see the Readius go down and out at the time. I was hoping to get one of them. Compact expandable ereader ... very nice.
