Hey guys,
it's a bit of a mistake made by some people on the forum to call this OLED technology. It's actually e-ink (or e-paper as one reader correctly put in his message) which has been invented by Philips in the Netherlands. The material is actually a lot like real paper in how it feels and looks. It only uses electricity to change the properties of the screen into a certain image, after which the image stays on the 'paper' until the screen refreshes with another image. It's quite different from OLED in the fact that OLED is a ready useable displaytechnology, Samsung for instance unveiled a tv of only several millimeters thick only a few months ago.
The only thing I'm wondering about, is weather it's application as a touchscreen is really readily useable, and what kind of refresh-rate the display has in order to show animated menus or things like that.
Cheers lads

Ahh, here we have another genius trying to reinvent the wheel. People should stick to what they are good at and not dabble into the tier 1 mobile manufacturers' cake.

Guys, FYI Vodafone future vision website: http://www.vodafone.com/flash/future/application/index.html
Future is not in our hand but in our mind, only with hands we can make them true.

If I remember correctly, this is OLED technology. Definitely all phones in the future will use it, but also it will replace the LCD/Plasma in the TV area. Basically, it has potential to be used anywhere to display something.

Watch this article carefully, and remember it well, because in this you see the future. In a few years time all the mobile phones will have screens like this.

Think if it was in color this would be the no. 1 invention of the yr
But when u see the pic you can see it have picture, games option so does it mean that can have a chance of getting it in color or not?

Do some research on OLED technology. Full colour displays like this are not far away and should theoretically use very little power.

Maybe not so suitable for phones at this stage, but AWESOME! Vodafone last year had launched a website with how the future could look. And they incorporated flexible e-Paper like this!
Can't wait for this to become more viable!

Call me when you come out with a reasonably priced 256K+ colour screen version of this, Readius. Nice first effort though. :)
