HP makes a flexible plastic watch
Experts at HP's Palo Alto Research and Development Laboratory promise to release a working prototype of a wristwatch-computer with a flexible plastic display within a year .
Military watches will be the first real test for plastic screens, which are now used almost exclusively in electronic books (for example, in the Amazon Kindle), and nowhere else.
According to HP engineers, in the future plastic screens will be used in all types of consumer electronics, as well as in laptops, e-books and even outdoor advertising on the streets. You only need to learn how to make large screens and reduce the cost of production.

Interestingly, the PowerFilm solar panels can be imprinted directly onto the surface of this display, and is going to make HP for watches.
Such watches (the developers themselves call them “Dick Tracy watches”) will certainly be used in the army: soldiers can update the display of a map of hostilities and other strategic information.
