  I don’t think it’s that type of “durable.” I think they mean you can read from it forever without having to rewrite the data, which currently isn’t true of platter and solid state storage. This isn’t screen technology, though, it’s storage technology, so I’m not sure the comparison is useful.

    I think they were talking about making the screen also a storage device but yeah doesn’t seem possible with this tech at least.

      Good point, maybe. But yeah, this isn’t rewritable media, this is archival data storage.
