<< What's out there is called either electronic paper or electronic ink (or
abbreviated e-paper or e-ink). Two companies are working on it, one a
Xerox spinoff, the other an MIT spinoff. The basic idea is that you have
a sheet of material that is roughly paper-like in terms of thickness that
contains small pixel-like bits of a substance that can turn white or black
when hit by an electric charge. >>
A number of companies are also working on flexible, very thin monitors that
can be folded or rolled up. This is the next step in the development of flat
panel monitors, plasma screens and the like. I'm not sure which companies
are working on this, but a quick Google should tell you more.
Not here yet, but soon...
