Roll-up flatscreen TVs that fit in your pocket to become a reality

Television screens that can be rolled up and carried in a pocket are to become a reality using technology developed by British scientists.
Researchers have developed a new form of light-emitting crystals, known as quantum dots, which can be used to produce ultra-thin televisions. The tiny crystals, 100,000 times thinner than a human hair, can be printed on flexible plastic sheets to produce a paper-thin display, or on to wallpaper to create giant room-size screens.
Michael Edelman, the chief executive of Nanoco, a spin-out company set up by the scientists behind the technology at Manchester University, said the firm was working with "major Asian electronics companies". It is believed Sony, Sharp, Samsung and LG are working on quantum dot television technology.
