Mobile devices are convenient to carry but reading material from newspapers, books and blogs on the small screen can be a real strain on the eyes. That is about to change with the introduction of the first mobile device with rollable display. It will hit the market in 2007 thanks in part to an agreement between Telecom Italia and Polymer Vision. The Cellular-Book will go on display at 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona on February 12th.
From the site:
While smaller than a typical mobile phone, the new device features a display which extends up to 5-inches and may simply be stored away after use by folding it, thanks to the flexibility of the polymer based display material. The device features the largest display available in the industry for the same form factor, the 16 grey levels combined with a high contrast and high reflectivity display for paper like reading experience enables comfortable reading, even in bright sunlight. Future developments include colour and moving image capable display.
