Telephone with flexible display

A team of researchers from Queen's University in Ontario (Canada) and the University of Arizona have demonstrated a prototype smartphone, the PaperPhone, with the characteristics of a sheet of paper, is flexible. For now, the prototype used to study the gestures necessary for the bending of the spreadsheet is associated with certain orders.

The touch screen is flexible and responds to a stylus. The E-ink display is similar to that of e-books you can read multimedia files and ensure the basic functionality of a device, such as incoming and outgoing calls and messaging management. Its creators say they will not be available until five or ten years.


A PDF posted on the Internet gives all the details of the prototype. PaperPhone contains sensors that identify whether folded or not. Placed, for example, bending the forearm can submit multimedia files for your contemplation. If it stays flat accepts writing with a pencil on a notepad.
