Roll-up Laptop

Although still just a concept, the roll-up laptop is an amazing idea. The idea that a laptop can be rolled up like a poster or a mat is just plain unbelievable.

The Orkin roll-up laptop makes use of a flexible OLED display. With this, it offers it the possibility to be

• a 17 - inch multi-touch laptop
• a 13 - inch tablet pc operated by a stylus
• or a standup flat screen display.

This is truly the future of the notebook era. It is lightweight (about the weight of a mini-notebook), and comes with its power adapter and other features fitted in the carrying cannister with a convenient strap. So we can all forget about the MacBook air or any other tablet Pc because this will blow them all out of the way.

Flexible OLED (Organic light emitting diode) have substrates made of very flexible metallic foils and plastics that prevent and reduce breakage. They are used in cell phones and PDA's and are lightweight and durable. The possible applications of Flexible OLED's are enormous and mind-boggling. They can be used to make cell phones that conform to the shape of your hand and that is just one conservative idea. The roll-up laptop is just another one of the possible applications of this technology.

Other firms not just Orkin are looking into the possibility of making the roll-up laptop. Sony is looking into this not only this concept but also watches and mp3's with flexible OLED's. If and when this comes into the market, i am definitely getting in on this, and tossing this old but reliable thing i am using to publish this blog. I hope your mind is blown away.
