"Link not working"...exactly my point (see above^)....if that link was printed on a piece of ordinary paper, it would still be readable. See how limiting e-things are! I had this friend....he spilled coffee on his ultra thin e-newspaper, and got electrocuted. We toasted marshmallows over his smoldering carcass, while we read our paper-papers. ;-)
"now, bookmark this page and come back in 25 years."By that time, it will be as easy to find as that little note you wrote yourself on a slip of paper, 25 years ago. (...when you are storing hundreds of TB of crap every week, in that brave new world)
Its not as thin as regular paper so its kind of pointless, granted the lcd bit itself if 0.3micrometres but the circutary needed to run it looks like several cm, and how much bend does it really have they only show 25degreese.Even if they get it completely thin and bendable there is still the task of making it foldable and making it so you can write on it.Still its nice to see progress.

I'm sure this is at the very least a decade away from practical use.
