Portable big screens?

I own an IPAQ which I really like because I can carry it around in my pocket. The only problem is that the screen is too small to be really usefull for things like word processing or surfing the web.

I also sometimes travel with a laptop, it is not very heavy but I need to carry it in a bag; but the screen is big enough to do almost everything.

So, naturally I started thinking about if there is a way to carry a 15" screen in your pocket?
I have seen prototypes: Various devices you put in front of the eyes (small screens), foldable screens etc but as far as I know none of these are commercially available.
I know the military uses some devices like this but AFAIK they are not really meant for "ordinary" usage (text).

Is there anything (usefull) out there that I have missed? Anything on the horizon? Any ideas on how to solve this problem?


 
same here on the LCD's if i recall there is some biological technology on the horizon that will redefine LCD resolution, size and power consumption. i forget where i read it and it was a while ago. hopfully i am not mistaken

buying an oled display right now of any reasonable size is EXPENSIVE. good luck trying to interface with an ipaq too, thats probably harder
