CES 2016: LG's flexible OLED display points to the future of tablets and mobile devices

LG has come up with the most impressive concept so far at CES 2016. The 18-inch flexible OLED display above is surprisingly thin and can be rolled up like a newspaper or a magazine while maintaining a high resolution image. Flexible displays are nothing new, this is just the next step to the curved displays that were all the rage a few years ago as well as smaller, fabric-like displays we've seen in the past.

Where LG has succeeded is making OLED displays that offer great potential for even thinner or flexible mobile devices, wearables and even wraparound displays. It's nice to see that displays aren't just getting thinner and offering more resolution but are now more malleable for various uses.
