HP makes a watch with a flexible display made of plastic

    Specialists at the HP Palo Alto Research and Development Laboratory promise to release a working prototype of a computer wristwatch with a flexible plastic display within a year .



    Military watches will be the first real test for plastic screens, which are now used almost exclusively in e-books (for example, Amazon Kindle), and nowhere else.

    According to HP engineers, in the future plastic screens will be used in all types of consumer electronics, as well as in laptops, e-books, and even in outdoor advertising on the streets. You only need to learn how to make screens of large sizes and reduce the cost of production.

    Interestingly, PowerFilm solar panels can be imprinted directly on the surface of this display.is going to make HP for watches.

    Such watches (the developers themselves call them the “Dick Tracy watch”) are likely to find application in the army: soldiers can update the combat map and other strategic information on the display.
