Researchers at Queen's University and Arizona State University have developed a prototype “Paper Phone” that can do anything an iPhone can, all while being paper thin and flexible. It seems to be only a matter of time until your cell phone will be kept in your wallet next to your drivers license.
Paper Thin and Flexible: The Future of Smartphones?

Guys, please show some tech literacy. What they displayed is only bendable Input/Output device interface. All the circuitry in this interface is to detect signal from bending and LCD screens – which are commonly this thin today. This IO device is connected to actual system that does the processing – and we don’t know how big it is, may be it was connected to PC. And what is the big technical innovation – bending is so inconvenient, touching is so much simpler. This is just scientific proof of concept – with the hope there is application for bending. I am certain there is in some scenario – but not in smartphone mass-market.
huh?
looks really annoying to you use…
omg
the most ridiculous thing ever invented!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
