Thin, flexible computers and displays

| 0 Comments

A Cornell University group is working on flexible, thin computers: a layer of polymer-based transistors bonded to a sheet of silicon. Effectively a computer and its screen in a single sheet, "as large as meters on a side." The article seems to think this makes them "disposable." The difficulty, and what their research grant is for, is bonding the polymer and silicon layers together.
