Intel patents “flexible screen” technology

intel logo - Image 1A patent given to Intel revealed in the US Patents and Trademarks Office suggests that the giant company best known for its work with microprocessors has invented a method to revolutionize electronics displays as we know them.

Near as we can figure, the product hinges on technology which makes use of two flexible sheets. These sheets have magnetically charged particles which control reflectivity.  The onscreen pixels are generated via a flexible ring between the two magnetic flexible sheets.

The techno;ogy, the patent says, is intended for use in mobile devices. Mobile phones, laptops and PDAs could all benefit directly from the new methods, but at this earl stage we can never be sure. Some concepts make it to paper and prototypes are never constructed. Still, it’s a nice idea and it’s good to know that our currently good displays can only get better.
