LCD panels are about to be thinner and lighter than ever! Thanks to the award-winning effort of Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute, a flexible, paper-like screen has already been developed, with a thickness of just one-tenth millimeter.

In the blockbuster movie "Harry Potter" there's a gadget of thin paper display.

This is no longer a dream in the fictional movie, as research team of the ITRI has come up with the ultra thin 0.01cm screen.

It is the first time that Taiwan has won two major international awards, the WSJ Technology Innovation Award and the R＆D 100 Award, for a single technology.

It also represents a big breakthrough for Taiwan in flexible display development.

The secret is in the instant removal process where the ITRI's newly development release layer material plays a key role.

It is like a layer of non-stick material between a crepe and the pan.

In addition to letting the crepe slip off the pan easily, the non-stick layer won't damage the filling in the crepe.

95 world patent applications have been submitted and the ITRI has transferred the technology to local manufacturers,

who are estimated to mass produce the products within a year, which is expected to bring a revolutionary change in consumer electronics markets.
