Kyocera's OLED Concepts For The Future

Kyocera has shown off their concepts before at CTIA and now they've got 3D designs of them. The one above looks like a standard netbook / notebook, but it features a foldable OLED screen. Although you can't tell looking at it straight-on, trust me it has "future" written all over it. Below, and on the left, is the EOS and it is just a big foldable OLED screen with a couple of features. When it is partially folded the back of the OLED becomes a QWERTY keyboard and when you squeeze the screeen repeatedly, kinetic generators will recharge the device for you. Sounds amazing, but I don't know how long into the future Kyocera is looking at here. Below, and on the right, is the NXT which is a phone with 4 detachable OLED screens. I don't know what the use of having so many detachable screens are, but it would be amazing if you could combine the 4 screens to make 1 large screen. Anyways, on the back you can even attach a solar panel to it, so that you can keep your device recharged at all times. Just make sure you don't lose one of those OLEDs because that would suck. I think Kyocera is looking at least 5 - 10 years in the future with these, but we'll just have to see when OLED technology makes its ultimate breakthrough.
