Video screens as thin and flexible as paper. Aside from the revolutionary ways this could be used to video, TV, and advertising, imagine the future of things that are currently printed. Books, periodicals, and comicbooks could be distributed electronically in a format that folks could carry in their back pocket. People say that they can't read a comic or an e-text on their computer screens in the bathroom or on the subway, but with this technology you could if you wanted too.

The future is coming fast.

Very cool stuff - I definitely want to cover my ceiling with one!

Reminds me a bit of electronic paper: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_paper

If they made clothing out of it, you could have a different outfit constantly. Or, you could make a mask out of it, and display someone else's face.

Think of it as life-size skinning!
