Sony has developed a flexible color display that's sturdy enough to be wrapped around a pencil while still showing video images.

The screen will be detailed on Thursday at the Society for Information Display conference in Seattle and ahead of that Sony released a video of it in operation.

The video shows the display being rolled and unrolled around a cylinder 4 millimeters in diameter. The screen displays a video image and doesn't appear to be affected by the rolling. There are numerous bad pixels on the screen, likely the result of bad transistors or connections, but such faults are common in prototype displays.

The 4.1-inch screen has a resolution of 432 by 240 pixels, which is similar to that offered by many mass-market cell phones.

Sony has previously demonstrated an OLED screen that can be gently bent, but with nothing like the degree of flexibility of the new screen.
