Fujitsu have announced the development of the world’s first flexible color paper computer screen. The new electronic paper features vivid color images that are
unaffected even when the screen is bent, and features an image memory
function that enables continuous display of the same image without the
need for electricity. The thin and flexible electronic paper uses very
low power to change screen images.

I cannot believe that no one has commented on this. The business posibilities for this are endless. Imagine a business card that you could give to someone that would not only have the hip cool look to it but could cange and give them other information about you or your company. An artist which has a business card that can also have a small portfolio on it. This has major potential.

I agree. Also, imagine if they added a processer and a micrphone. You could have a roll-up computer with no need of a keyboard because all text is inputted via voice. It’s definitely the future – this and 3D holographic displays, which are actually so close to becoming a reality it’s not funny. They already have 3D holgraphic displays with near-180 degree viewing angles that can be viwed from below and above as well as side to side. Even if they don’t ever conquer 360 degree holographic displays the potential is still enourmous. The displays can’t be used for computers et cterea at the moment (as far as I know) but they can display five seconds or so of moving image. Soon, soon, soon!

What about a say a book with say 20 of these pages and the binder incorporating a hard drive and a USB port so you could download documents into your e-book then take them away to read. This would be ideal for on-line novels and for documents a person may want to read in bed or lounging around – something which is difficult to do even with a laptop. And of course if someone has received an e-mail or report electronically they can download it to the e-book to read it instead of printing it out. We like books because we can read one page while quickly referring back or forward to other pages. This cannot be easily done on a computer screen. The number of documents which you could store in the e-book would only be limited by the size of the hard drive.
