Canadian researchers have created a prototype smart phone made of flexible, bendable electronic "paper," BBC reports.

The PaperPhone can do many things bulkier smart phones can do such as make and receive calls, send messages, play music and display e-books.

The gadget triggers different functions and features when bent, folded and flexed at its corners and sides.

"Everything is going to look and feel like this within five years," said creator Dr. Roel Vertegaal. (点击BBC网站查看原文)

加拿大发明“纸手机”

       据英国广播公司报道,加拿大科学家研制了一款由可弯曲折叠的电子纸制造的智能手机原型。

       这款“纸手机”可以实现通常笨重的智能手机的很多功能,例如接打电话,发送信息,播放音乐和显示电子书。

       通过弯曲或轻折“纸手机”的四角和两侧,就可以触发各种功能和应用。

       发明者罗埃尔·维特加尔博士相信,未来五年内手机“都将有此类外观和触感”。
