Wrist-worn OLED displays shipped to military

Universal Display Corporation has taken 8 flexible OLED screens and made them into a wrist-worn design similar to a watch and shipped them to the military for “evaluation and testing.”

The device may not have a specific purpose at this time (at least that’s what they say) but it does pack a large 4.3-inch screen. The possibilities for this device are endless, and surely you could use your imagination to come up with some pretty cool ideas.

Flexible LED screens have been demoed a bunch of times, but up until now there really haven’t been any applications of this technology. It should be fun to see what can become of this.

"The device may not have a specific purpose at this time" Hook this bad boy up to a UAV it would be like real life hacks. That and the US Army contact-lenses with FPS-like HUD would be "unstoppable!" and "god-like!". I could just see the Iraqis, Afghanes, and or Pakistanis calling our l337 troops hax0rz.... http://www.megagames.com/news/us-army-working-contact-lenses-fps-hud
