Sony's new OLED color display: thinner than a strand of hair

This might be what finally saves the newspaper industry, once the technology becomes feasible and widespread. It'll be just like those moving pictures in the Harry Potter novels and movies!

Sony has refined organic light emitting diode (OLED) manufacturing to the point where a color display can be built that's 80μm thick... which is just shy of the thickness of average human hair.

I guess this also means that Steve Jobs will eventually be making the iPhone and iPad even thinner than they are now :-P

Gizmodo has more about this seriously cool new technology, including video of the OLED display in action.
