Sony released a video of their new flexible thin film display. The display is thin enough to bend like paper and displays full color images. The display is created using a combination of 'thin film transistor' and 'organic electroluminescent display' (OLED) technologies. At the moment Sony is not 100% certain what future applications to which the technology will be applied. However, I think that their wallpaper idea may have some wings. How great would it be to be able to repaint a whole room just by flicking a switch? Or even better, change the color based on the time of day?

Color OLED computer peripherals are on the market. This website has a few items for sale including the Optimus keyboard with OLEDs built into each key. This allows for the keys to be changed to any format you wish; enable your keyboard with buttons for Quake, Russian, or surfing the web.

OLED is short for organic light emitting diode. By embedding certain organic compounds into a plastic substrate and exciting the compound with electricity it is possible to reproduce images, in other words create a screen. One major advantage of OLED is that they do not require a backlight as LED screens do because the backlight is built into the pixel.
