TVs evolution

Have you ever dreamed about TV which is thinner than a book? Or maybe even thinner than a pen? When listen, your dreams are coming true and even more than you could imagine. New generation TV's will be as thin as bank cards or a sheet of paper. You may have seen it in the futuristic films but have you thought that you will be able to see them with your eyes and touch it in reality? Well all this is becoming reality. Scientists need only few more years and it will be ready as most of required technology already exists as it is used in OLED screens which are usually used in telephones and becomes more popular to use it in TVs. So what happened that we don't have this technology write now? The problem is that all such screens require conductors which were usually calcium, lithium or others but they are very reactive and requires glass or other material to separate from air. Researchers from Georgia Tech came up with an idea to cover conductor with a very thin layer of polymer. It's thickness should be from 1 to 10 nm so we will definitely feel a difference then this technology will change glass and other materials. Apparently this polymer is also very cheap so shortly we will get better and cheaper TVs. It would also reduce weight so carrying it will be possible to take your TV and go to your friends house to watch a film without a problem. It is also very interesting where "Pimp My Ride" producers would decide to put screens as we already seen them everywhere, even on a snowboard!
