Sony has a new prototype laptop for us featuring a flexible OLED screen. After watching a video of the concept in action, we are very impressed with the potential this device has.
As a part of the new Contrast line, the OLED laptop combines a flexible bioplastic OLED screen with touch technology to create something wonderful. There is no hard keyboard, just a touch keyboard, and with the press of a button that keyboard can be whisked away and replaced with more display screen, basically doubling the size.
Flexible OLEDs are a new and extremely interesting new technology, as laptop displays are easily the bulkiest part of any laptop. (The keyboard is running a close second, and Sony has taken care of both here.) As this technology develops, we can expect more manageable displays that take up less physical space and are also more flexible and easier to move. We did say this was a prototype and not just a concept, and gizmodo has reported that it's currently being prototyped in Sony's lab. We're excited to see this laptop reach the light of day. Come on Sony, make good on this one, and we swear we'll buy it.
