Paper Video

This is very cool- Siemens has developed a colour video display so thin that it can be printed on paper or foil and so cheap it can be used for throwaway packaging. Obviously the first application will be for advertising but the days of books with moving images cannot be far behind. Although the resolution isn't as sharp as a TV or PC monitor yet, that too will surely follow. As if this wasn't amazing enough, the screens get their power from batteries printed onto the paper too.

I'm flabbergasted.

The flying cars and ray guns can't be far behind now.
