Very cool.  Arizona State University researchers are working on flexible display technologies for the US Army.

Nadeau says flexible display technology will enable new applications for the soldier and Army platforms that cannot be realized with current glass-based displays. These will include body-worn displays that conform to the uniform; displays that can be rolled up and put in a pocket when not in use and unrolled for large-area, high information content; and many other applications that Army engineers and scientists are considering.

Here is a video illustrating the technology during some durability testing:

and some more applicable examples

electricEye University of Washington.

Engineers at the UW have for the first time used manufacturing techniques at microscopic scales to combine a flexible, biologically safe contact lens with an imprinted electronic circuit and lights.

Go Huskies!

This is pretty cool...but I wore contacts for a long time and they suck!  Some people can wear them without any problems, my sister for one.  Me?...pain and suffering.

"Looking through a completed lens, you would see what the display is generating superimposed on the world outside," said Babak Parviz, a UW assistant professor of electrical engineering. "This is a very small step toward that goal, but I think it's extremely promising."

Pretty snazzy nonetheless.
