Abstract :
The primary driver behind the Army´s interest in promoting flexible displays is that the technology´s physical properties offer vastly superior, if unquantifiable, advantages in safety for its frontline troops. The Army envisions an initial application of the flexible displays as a credit-card-sized device on a foil substrate. The author looks briefly at the features and applications, technological challenges, and dual use principles, promise, and perils
