Paper thin LCD is almost here!

For all your techie people. This is pretty cool. I read about this technology a few years ago, but this is the 1st I have seen of it. (Not really LCD, it's a polymer display)

this is the technology they want to use to build 'invisible' vehicles right? ... cover a tank in this stuff displaying the image from a camera on the opposite side, and you can't see a thing.

invisible aston martin bond car was based on this concept.

Sweetness. Hope that gets put into use in a few years in color and all that. Lots of brilliant ideas like this seem to get lost in time somehow. Hope this one doesn't.
