Oh, like you've never told anyone about how you put your thing into another thing.
Then again, maybe you never have.

Take a flexible OLED, back it with this flexible circuitry, add a flexible battery and you've got an electronic material which could really give paper a run for it's money. Is there flexible memory or storage yet?

Researchers from Tsinghua University and Beijing Normal University have demonstrated a simple loudspeaker design based on nanotubes: They showed that a thin film of nanotubes can reproduce sounds over a wide frequency range--including the full human audible range--with high sound pressure level, low total harmonic distortion, and no magnets.
There's a nice video of a nanotube speaker membrane being deformed without the audio being distorted. Here's a link to the full article at Nano Letters of the ACS."

Please learn how to better say it.

Finally we can see Princess Leia's message properly projected."
There are lots of other features, including a remote built into a model of the Millennium Falcon.This is the only home theater system available that is modeled after the famous droid from the Star Wars films.
R2's head houses a DLP projection system with superior 1,500:1 contrast, and can project movies, TV shows, images, and video games from his radar eye at 1024 x 768 resolution onto walls up to 16 1/2' away, equivalent to an 80" screen....
