So, I was just over at paper-papers.com browsing for some envelopes that will go well with my stationery when I came upon some old news: the paper-thin flexible OLED display developed by Sony then a more flexible version by Samsung.

I have to admit, the 11 inch OLED display made by Sony looks really cool. it's only .3mm thin though of course, it's still far from being in the production stage but still, you just have to be amazed at what these companies can do. And of course, there's also Samsung's .05mm thick OLED display which actually flaps in the wind. Samsung's paper thin display has a 100,000:1 contrast ratio and can create an image with resolution of 480x272.
 


These kind of technologies will make you wonder, will paper soon become obsolete? I mean, eBooks are already everywhere and with Amazon's Kindle, everyone is opting for the digital version rather than the paperback version of books. Then snail mail has virtually become obsolete thanks to email. Now with display technologies like the ones developed by Samsung and Sony, it wouldn't be too far in the future wherein we can see digital magazines and newspapers that makes use of these paper-thin display.



But as I flip through paper-papers.com's selection of stationery and custom paper, I doubt that there would be no need for pape in the future. A lot of people are still opting for the paperback version of books and I still prefer to see my name in a Heading in a stationery of my choosing.
