Have you seen the Nokia Morph video? It’s an animated sci fi film set to ambient techno that takes a look at the kind of technology mobile phones will have in the future. One of the cool things in that video was a device that could change colors. It looks like some company called Kent Displays based out of the USA have made the first generation of that vision possible. The 65 micron thick material only requires power when changing color, and even then it uses only .7 milliwats for every square centimeter. It works down to -10 centigrade, which means I can’t use this in Finland during the winter, and up to 45 cetigrade, so it isn’t going to work when I go to hell for what I did with that underage girl last summer.

It’s practically weightless too at only 0.0089 grams for every square centimeter. Read the company’s PDF for more info about this new display/material. No word on when we’re going to see this in devices.

Note: If you’re reading this in an RSS reader you may have to open the full website to see this video.
