Future Designer Laptop – The Diploma Thesis

A few posts back we talked about the amazing new technology of OLED. Here’s the post that shows you the versatility of the OLED. Now a German company Orkin Design has developed a new concept of roll-top computers called Diploma Thesis a concept in will soon be available for the retail masses.

As you will see in the video, it is carried around with a strap over your shoulder and can then be unfurled, making it available to many different configurations. From a flat tablet to a traditional looking book style laptop.

Because the device as the flexible display it allows this new concept design growing out of the traditional bookformed laptop into unfurling and convolving portable computer. By virtue of the OLED-Display technology and a multi touch screen the weight of the computer is said to be that of a mini-notebook size. A width of 13 inch easily transforms into the graphics tablet, which with its 17-inch flat screen can be also used as a primary monitor.

So you can use it as a flexible laptop, a graphical tablet, or even stand it up and you have a portable 17′ TV screen.

As you roll out the portable large “Tootsie Roll” computer, (it reminds me of a mini yoga mat) the screen acts as the protective casing that inside holds the round tower where the brains of this powerful duo sit. All of the utilities from the power supply through the holding belt to an interactive pen are integrated into the  Diploma Thesis. The tower holds all the power, ports, camera,speakers and whatever else Orkin Design decides to install into this all in one mega gadget.
