Carrying a mobile device with a big screen is great, but it\u2019s not always very convenient, particularly if it\u2019s a full-size tablet. What we really need is a tablet that folds down into something smaller, so it\u2019s more easily pocketed. This may sound like a sci-fi fan\u2019s dream, but the future is almost here; an example of a flexible, folding tablet display has been demonstrated at a tech show in Japan. Cleverly, it doesn\u2019t just fold in half, but into thirds, quickly turning it from a tablet into a smartphone-sized device.<\/p>\n

The tech is the work of the Semiconductor Energy Laboratory, better known as SEL Co. Ltd, a firm with a long history of creating flexible components \u2013 from solar panels to RF circuits. Its new screen measures 8.7-inches, and has a 1080p resolution, giving a 254ppi pixel density. It has two folding points, meaning it can effectively become a third of its original size when folded down.<\/p>\n
