Is it possible to have a flexible/thin computer screen ?

Question

If not , why not?
My idea is to have a thin flexible screen that can be hooked up to say, my PDA with internet access provided by the PDA.
The screen would be larger than a PDA screen and allow for easier viewing when needed. It could be stored in a brief case or perhaps a notebook ...
Any reason why this is not possible? Does one exist?
The screen would simply be that a "screen" the source workings would be in the devise it is plugged into.

i saw that on future tech on A&E yes it will be on the market in 2013 they have prototypes now but as the guy above said will happen cause there working on an entirely new cristlal scheme program to fit the super flex moniter that will be released by microsoft for use for all needs,future psp's, DS's it will be a plug in for the PS4 and for XBOX infinite that is schedualed for release in 2013 and also for APPLES and PCs as well as TVs PDAs and personal orgainizers etc.etc hope this helped :)

Answer 2

The reason this isn't something that has been produced is because in something like an LCD screen, there is a need for the little electricity nodes to be aligned correctly. The nodes produce a small electric pulse that tells each individual crystal what color to produce. By making it flexible, not only are you allowing for those nodes to possible be misaligned (thus causing lack of color in the crystals) but you also allow for the possibility of bending the screen (meaning that the crystals would be pushed away from that bend and cause either distortion or lack of picture). It's feasible, just not worth it.
