LG, Samsung, Sony, and other display manufacturers have unveiled flexible screens before, only this concept is more advanced, and bluntly, stunning. The company is showing off at CES 2016 an eighteen-inch rollable display that can exist rolled up like a paper. What's interesting most this is the sheer size of the panel, if you can phone call it such; most manufacturers have shown off bendable displays at various smaller sizes in the by, and of course curved (but fixed) HDTVs accept been in stores for several years now.

Instead of this fitting a smartphone that you lot could put in your pocket, a brandish like this is much tougher to pull off, and removes the hard barrier you'd notice on a large tablet or convertible laptop that sets its class gene a sure way. The imagination can run wild with the possibilities; a few off the tiptop of our heads would be a second screen for a smartphone, or (eventually) a full-diddled tablet with an on-screen keyboard that you could simply unroll onto a tabular array and start working on.

At the show, LG is also showing a range of new products, including a dual-window 55-inch brandish, an 86-inch LCD, and a 139-inch Vertical Tiling OLED displays all appropriate for commercial signage; a 25-inch "waterfall" curved LCD designed for car interiors; and a x.3-inch car display that works with gloved hands. We imagine LG will show off a bunch of new HDTVs we can actually purchase, too.

LG is no stranger to solid brandish tech, even though Samsung and Vizio seem to accept the nigh mindshare for consumer HDTV shopping these days. In May, LG unveiled a wallpaper-sparse 55-inch OLED concept (pictured above) that weighed simply four pounds and fastened to the wall via a magnetic mat; you could and so peel the brandish off of it and motility it from room to room, assuming you had multiple magnetic mats installed on the walls.

Back in September, DisplayMate'southward Ray Soneira pitted the $6,000 65-inch LG 65EG9600 OLED console confronting a $5,000 Samsung UN65JS9500, and tested it for color gamut, backlight bleed, viewing angles, and more. The LG did essentially better on a variety of tests against the Samsung.

In October, for more weird brandish fun, LG unveiled the V10, an Android phone with two screens and 2 selfie cameras; the device went on to practise well in reviews effectually the Web.

After this week, we should acquire more nearly the foldable eighteen-inch OLED display, and hopefully how it'southward made; stay tuned for details.
