Nokia Morph or flexible cell phone for next years
At the moment, it is not a commercial device but it could be soon. The technology exists. Nokia has built a concept that demonstrates how future cell phones might be stretchable and flexible in order to allow the user to transform their mobile device into radically different shapes. The concept is named Nokia Morph.
Nokia Morph would use nanotechnology to give a flexible body with transparent display and self-cleaning surfaces. The device also would include a keyboard and a touchpad to satisfy the user’s needs. “We hope that this combination of art and science will showcase the potential of nanoscience to a wider audience. The techniques we are developing might one day mean new possibilities in terms of the design and function of mobile devices”, Dr. Tapani Ryhanen, Head of the NRC Cambridge UK laboratory, Nokia, said.
The concept device will be on display from February 24 to May 12, 2008 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and it is part of the “Design and Elastic Mind” exhibition.
Nanotechnology is a possibility to integrate complex functions to current devices and the advantage would be the low cost. These technologies can be implemented within the next seven years.
