Everything from OLEDs to realistic bionic materials flexible to enough to replicate skin will be possible as resources are shifted towards plastic-based electronics. The gold standard once said that plastics could not be used to conduct electricity, but nowcommercial applications of plastic-based transistors technology is poised to shake the industry to its core.

From Science Daily,

"Plastic-based transistors and organic light-emitting displays are set to shake the electronics market. Transistors, the fundamental building block in modern electronic devices, are traditionally made of silicon. Plastic-based transistors however are easier and cheaper to manufacture than their silicon equivalent. And because plastic is flexible, we could soon see ultrathin, flexible laptops, for example, that would be impossible to make from silicon."
