HP flexible display surfaces again

The machines with these kinds of displays might be coming in future

HP showed off this flexible, unbreakable display panel back in 2008 when the American PC giant joint hands with Arizona State University to bring out this prototype. These forms are made using self-aligned imprint lithography (SAIL) technology invented in HP Labs.

Now after about two years of no information, Engadget reports of the prototype surfacing again. I call it a prototype because it is still not clear whether this technology will be mass-produced, although things are starting to look more feasible now than ever.

A leaked video shows the rollable displays and it was mentioned that this material should be rolled up about a half dozen times to help storing it, and rather than making displays out of them, the assumption now is that it would be used to make the existing display panel thinner.
