Flexible metal sheet has been developed by the Cambridge researchers. It is expected that this metal may add a new dimension to the laptop world. This metal sheet would eco-friendly too as it can be used in reusable packaging, roll-up keyboards and self-erecting temporary shelters.
The main advantage of this roll-up screen exists in carrying. It can easily be carried in to the file or pocket. Researchers are trying to make electronics flexible so that users can easily carry these important things with them without making any extra space for them. I am quoting Dr. Keith Seffne, the lead researchers of the Department of Engineering at the Cambridge University, from an article:
“The initial idea for making such screens came to them when they saw children's toys bracelets, which flicked or snapped by themselves. The main principle behind the roll-up screens is to control the stress within the structure for the users. The shape and stress are interconnected - the more shape changes, the greater the stress become, until eventually the object fails. What we have worked out is ways that you can make the shape and the stress interact with each other in a positive way.”
It is undoubtedly true that an A5 sized display screen of roll up laptop will definitely help to increase the number of laptop users in the world. In this regard, it can be taken as an example that electronic paper, seeking to display text and image in a flexible way, has already been developed much.
