Sony has been showing off flexible PLED touch screens
which could be the beginning of a Star Trek type computer bracelet.
Designed by Hiromi Kiriki, the OLED-constructed Nextep
Bracelet could become as ubiquitous as iPods in as little as 10 years. They
might even be solar-powered. It uses a holographically projected screen, pull-out
keyboard panels, and one-touch access to your social networks. For tasks that
demand more than a few cursory tap the Nextep can be laid flat to become a
tablet.
OLEDS are 100 to 500 nanometers thick and are made from
thin films of organic compounds that generate light. They consume less power
than light-emitting diodes or LCDs. Sony is apparently working on an entire line of OLED
computer screens and televisions, which it will begin releasing this year.
