We have all shuddered at the thought of sitting on our rigid display devices and cracking them in half. Now Taiwanese researchers have found a way to make the display more bendable by using silk. The researchers take what is called liquid silk and turn it into an insulating membrane that is then used to make the TFT, or thin-film transistor, display found in both e-readers and LCD panels.
The advantage of the process is much more resilient e-reader panels. The best part is it is actually cheaper than the current technology for making TFT displays with the component cost for the silk coming in at about three cents per display.
