A promise of slimmer and flexible notebooks and ultraportables

by Juned on July 13th, 2008

Based on Robert Jaques post,Boffins promise flexible laptops, at IT News scientists predict that there maybe new forms of billboards, television and laptops that are flexible and only 1 cm in thickness.

Researchers Marianna Khorzov, David Andelman and Rafi Shikler made these predictions. Khorzov and Andelman are rearchers at the School of Physics and Astronomy at Tel Aviv University. While Shikler is a researcher who works at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Ben Gurion University.

This is going to happen, according to the researchers,, because plastic versions of transistors are easier and cheaper to make.

And because plastic is flexible this makes the production of more flexible and slim notebooks possible.

Will it bring the price down?
