Dr Seffen who works on the project explains:

"Flexible electronics is a burgeoning area, people are looking into making very thin flexible displays that could be used for electronic newspapers, or other portable electronic media like a roll-up laptop or compact mobile phone."

Hey! I'm on a diet, so by the time this technology gets released, I may be light as a feather. But just to be safe, remind me not to put any roll-up screens in my back pocket! ;-)
