Ultra-Shapable E-Ink Becomes Reality This Spring
Posted by Wilson Rothman at 4:00 AM on May 12, 2008
How many concept products have we shown featuring some form of curved or oddly shaped E-Ink display? A pillion?* Thankfully, the good people at E-Ink have seen fit to make these dreams come true: New "ultra-moldable" E-Ink cells are 40% thinner, can be cut into unique shapes, and even curved. This doesn't mean they're bendy, but it does mean you will be one step closer to achieving that bionic soldier-of-fortune look you'd like to cultivate to woo the ladies. The first product to be demonstrated is this humble but high functioning Delphi keychain. In the world of novelty keychains alone, the possibilities seem limitless. [Electronista]
*I am not entirely sure there is such a quantity as a "pillion," but there should be.

Anything that brings me closer to cheap flexible screens to cover my walls, my furniture, my wife, my dog. I envision a future where I can customize everything via computer interface. Don't like your mutt of a dog. Cover him with eink screen and turn him into a 3d image of a AKC winner. He will still chew your puter speakers but you can feel good about it. Don't like your fat wife. Cover her with thccqqqkkkk...!!

@Theophilus P. Wildebeeste: Which means that pillion=1 as there is only one passenger seat.
