Army to display flexible technology: "'Imagine replacing glass-based displays with light-weight, rugged flexible displays using minimal power,' DiMichele said. 'The lighter the load, the more efficient the warfighter.'
Officials said the Army is studying reflective and emissions technology for the screens to be integrated in 'human-portable applications,' which will let Soldiers see the screen without backlighting. 'This will be designed to not give away a location of a Soldier while on a mission,' DiMichele said.
By replacing the current liquid crystal glass-based display, the amount of battery power used drops by at least half, and the display is less likely to break while on a mission."
