As tech company LG demonstrated this summer with the unveiling of its 18-inch flexible screen, the next generation of roll-up displays is tantalizingly close. Researchers are now reporting in the journal ACS Nano a new, inexpensive and simple way to make transparent, flexible transistors—the building blocks of electronics—that could help bring roll-up smartphones with see-through displays and other bendable gadgets to consumers in just a few years.
