The concept of developing a flexible display was first put forth by Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Company). In 1974, Nicholas K. Sheridon, a PARC employee, made a major breakthrough in flexible display technology and produced the first flexible e-paper display.Dubbed Gyricon, this new display technology was designed to mimic the properties of paper, but married with the capacity to display dynamic digital images. Gyricon LLC's operations were short lived and in December 2005 Xerox closed the subsidiary company in a move to focus on licensing the technology instead.

                Sony Electronics expressed interest for research and development towards a flexible display video display since 2005.In partnership with RIKEN (the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research), Sony promised to commercialize this technology in TVs and cellphones sometime around 2010. In May 2010 Sony showcased a rollable TFT-driven OLED display.
               In late 2010, Samsung Electronics announced the development of a prototype 4.5 inch flexible AMOLED display. The prototype device was then showcased at Consumer Electronics Show 2011.] During the 2011 Q3 quarterly earnings call, Samung’s vice president of investor relations, Robert Yi, confirmed the company’s intentions of applying the technology and releasing products utilizing it by early 2012. In January 2012 Samsung acquired Liquavista, a company with expertise in manufacturing flexible displays, and announced plans to begin mass production by Q2 2012. During Samsung's CES 2013 keynote presentation, two prototype mobile devices codenamed "Youm" that incorporated the flexible AMOLED display technology were shown to the public.




Our TVs just keep getting bigger, sharper, and thinner every year.

LED is the leading TV display technology today, especially now that plasma technology is dead.
The only potential competitor for LED is OLED
OLED is a new display technology that is just starting to hit the market. OLED (organic light-emitting diode) TVs are much thinner than their predecessors and have remarkable color accuracy and flexibility.
LG unveiled its first rollable 65-in. OLED television at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The screen of this OLED TV is probably thinner than your smartphone.
The TV can be rolled up like a sheet of paper when not in use
LG’s 65-in. OLED TV is more flexible than any other television technology currently available on the market. It can be easily moved and stored for better space utilization. LG Display boasts that the paper-thin product has 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD) resolution.
The TV won’t be available commercially until next year, but it has the potential to shake up the entire TV market despite its inevitably high price tag.
