Sounds interesting but how many never make it to the commercial market?

TV screens that can be rolled up like a piece of paper or used as wallpaper could be available in the next few years.

Well, consider the same technology that could create clothing that could also be a tv screen. You too could be a walking tv someday.

The touch technology screen sounds pretty cool as well. As indicated in the article, "the effect means something like a rough-looking wall can actually feel like stone." Instead of pressure against the skin, it pulls on the skin to give a sense of feeling texture.

Tek_Freek: you got something here. If you set it up right, you have an invisibility cloak. Show whats in front of you on the back and what is behind you on the front and now you are invisibile., Why didn't I think of that. Now that's collaboration.
To be effective, we need full clothing, from head to toe.

I'd want one on the back of my car with preset images and messages, like: "You drive like an idiot", "Hang up your phone, moron", "It's the little lever on the left side of the steering column", "Your mother was a lousy drivers ed teacher", a picture of my hand flipping you off, fun stuff like that.

Oh, and a gun under the drivers seat just in case...

Or you could leave your head uncovered giving the impression there's a disembodied head floating around in the air.
