Plastic Logic has unveiled PaperTab, a flexible tablet computer that bends like a sheet of paper, Digital Spy said.

The wafer-thin 10.7-inch touchscreen device was developed in conjunction with Intel and Queen's University and is powered by the chip-maker's Core i5 processor.

PaperTabs are designed to be used in numbers, with one for each app in use, rather than having multiple tabs open on a single device. Documents can be shared between PaperTabs over a wireless network or by touching them together.

Commands are carried out on PaperTab through bend and swipe gestures, and multiple devices can be placed in close proximity to create a larger display area.

Numerous other technology manufacturers, including Samsung, are experimenting with flexible hardware.
