GPS

Unroll the world of information

GPS and location-based services are ideal application areas for rollable displays. No other display technology combines such a high degree of ‘visual convenience’ with the ability to pack away into a tiny case. When in use, the display opens out to a useful size – similar to a small book – so users can easily see the location they’re interested in, its surroundings and any associated data provided. When not in use, the screen simply ‘disappears’ back into the casing, allowing users to slip the device into a bag or pocket.

This is just one example. The versatility, robustness and low power consumption of rollable displays allow device manufacturers unique freedom to offer a wide variety of new form factors and innovative designs. Screens can be built into portable equipment such as you see here or created as stand-alone devices that access data via wireless connections to other equipment.
