But can you use it to swat the dog?

Philips Electronics said yesterday that it’s going to mass produce slim display panels that can be folded or rolled-up.

The 5-inch display, which can show detailed images, can be rolled up into a pen-sized holder. If connected to a mobile phone, it can also be used to download web pages, a book or email.

Hey, that’s cool! But of course, these screens can be used for evil:

The new [screens] will use much of the manufacturing technology already being used to make glass-based thin screens but is more adaptable to different surfaces, such as the dashboard of a car.

The dashboard of a car?
