At the Society for Information Display International Symposium in Seattle, Sony's R&D labs showed a rollable organic screen, tiny enough for cellphone or movie display. You can roll it up and slip it into your pocket.

The display, made up of organic thin-film transistors, is about 4" wide and functional when flat or rolled-up. This Sony screen offers a resolution of 432 by 240 pixels, about what other mobile phone screens do today.

This moves display tech closer to the exploding world of mobile gadgets. We can already see prototypes of pcs/gadgets that can wrap around your wrist or reside in your clothing. But the power of flexible screens goes far beyond novelty and it seems inevitable that displays must go as mobile as the rest of technology.

'Nuff said. Let's watch the video and see if the quality is half as good as Sony says...

What does a company with of $79 billion in sales last year (a 23% increase over the year before) really want?

Well, Samsung has a plan to push interactive advertisements from other companies through Samsung's phones and flat-screen TVs. Yes, Samsung Becomes A Content Network.

Samsung's new apps (similar to Apple's store for its iPhone) lets consumers stream content from the internet to–in Samsung's case–a web-connected TV. Millions of Samsung's ipTV owners now can access to 30 ad-free applications, such as Netflix and Blockbuster. By year-end more than 100 apps are supposed to be available.

Think of it as the world's largest digital signage network... ha, now you have the real idea! Why stop at just TV screens when you have monitors out there, too? And why stop at your own TVs and monitors if incremental screens add revenue?

TV makers think they can no longer profit just by offering features like sharper colours or brighter sound. Pricing power, as demonstrated by Apple, comes only from unique features or control over content. (And that's also why Sony is jumping in with Google on Smart TV, Google's web-accessible video search play.)

Analysts even think Samsung may purchase an ad network (or, like NEC, start one). This would bring in lots of ad money from marketers who appreciate a screen 25X the size of iPhone's.

Once the TV makers came to the conclusion they had to take in TV apps to compete, it was a simple jump of business logic to conclude you could create a two-way higway and also push out content– at a profit!
