The screen, on show at the Ceatec exhibition, features an optical scanner for each LCD pixel, and could also be used to recognise fingers or other objects.” Just imagine if something like this were incorporated into a mobile phone. If someone were to say, hand you a business card, you could simply place it on the screen and scan it. Or, you could have a biometric lock on your phone.

This is a very interesting piece of technology and could have a lot of applications, from mobile phones, to laptops, imagine if all you needed to do to scan a document was place it on your laptop screen.

With products like this being developed, we could be getting closer to having a truly mobile office.
