Next-generation large-screen display manufacturer Shinoda Plasma has unveiled a flexible, 1-millimeter thick, 125-inch film-type prototype display that can be used as a curved or wrap-around screen. The 3 x 1 meter plasma tube array (PTA) display (which actually consists of 3 seamlessly integrated 1 x 1 meter square sub-modules) offers a resolution of 960 x 360 and weighs 3.6 kilograms (8 lbs), or about 10 times less than a conventional plasma display. At a low-key unveiling on May 15, Shinoda Plasma announced plans to exhibit the device in June at the InfoComm 2008 conference in Las Vegas and confirmed their intent to begin small-scale production of a 150-inch (3 x 2 meter) version this autumn. While Shinoda Plasma envisions a variety of digital signage and advertising applications, the ultrathin displays would also undoubtedly make good digital wallpaper for the home.

I love how they state it would make good digital wallpaper

The fact that we're getting into the era of putting digital displays as something to cover walls is incredible. 960x360 is pretty terrible resolution, but this is just in its first stages. I cant wait to see what this technology ends up being used for. I just imagine something like the wallpaper in Irom Man. That'd be cool.

With the innovations in OLED tech, I would think this technology might be kind of a dead end. Something novel that appears on the map for a short time and just as quickly disappears. just my two cents though.
