Polymer Vision has just came up with a 4.8-inch rollable screen for cellphones, GPS, and mobile entertainment devices.

Mobile displays simply aren't practical for many of the business-oriented applications enabled by broadband networks. That's why Polymer Vision developed a new flexible screen technology that can make their screen fit into almost anything within a roll radius of 0.75 cm. The screen will probably have a switching time of 0.5-1 ms, and an optimum refresh rate of 50 Hz with a 240 x 320 pixels resolution.

It completely transforms the experience of viewing content, so the phone becomes an even more versatile business tool. This in turn will drive consumer demand for 'anytime, anywhere' data-oriented broadband services, increasing operator revenues and opening the way to new application areas.

The company is looking to conquer every market with their screens, from GPS devices to cellphones.

The new displays boast low power consumption and are small enough to squeeze into a tiny device, so who knows what may happen?
