The computer you can fold up

Love your tablet computer, but sometimes wish you just could roll it up like a newspaper and stick it away in your pocket? 

Soon exactly this will be possible, thanks to a breakthrough in the  technology which allows electronic gadgets to be folded up or bent. 

Until now, these intricate computer components – thin plastic sheets of electronic circuits, similar to sheets of paper – were only available in very small quantities in laboratories and limited to certain types of devices.

But researchers at the University of Surrey are working with Philips to develop their ‘source-gated-transistor’ (SGT), a simple circuit which is likely to become much easier to manufacture for ‘smart’ gadgets.
