- monk_e_boy 9y agoI'm not convinced about rollable or foldable displays. My phones screen is reachable with one hand, any bigger and I have to use two hands. So I use my tablet. If I need to get work done I use a PC or laptop. I don't see the point of a display that folds. The display would be worse than any I currently own. It would be more prone to breakage due to the nature of what you're asking it to do. I think it's one of those technologies that sounds neat, but in reality is not that useful (like 3D tvs)
- brokenmachine 9y agoI don't even think it sounds that neat. Just silly. 3D TV's, on the other hand, I love and am very sad that they're now not being produced... Just when the size and resolution of TVs is getting good enough to make them worthwhile.
- monk_e_boy 9y agoMaybe it was the content, but what I saw on 3D tv was just flat characters in a 3d environment. It felt very weird. The clunky glasses were a bit rubbish. All a bit weird and crap.
- brokenmachine 9y agoDid you see Avatar in 3D? It was much more than just characters.
- candiodari 9y agoI must say using foldable displays to have 2 display sizes does seem very useful to me. If you can ignore the blatant cheesyness and sexism this video does illustrate it pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKG7XRsG9KQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKG7XRsG9KQ (plus it would sell really well)
- userbinator 9y agoPeople will crease them anyway, accidental or otherwise. Flexible displays are far too fragile to be practical except in applications where they're literally bent only once and then affixed to something for the rest of their life.
- JKCalhoun 9y agoBendable displays require bendable batteries, bendable circuit boards, bendable cases, etc....
- candiodari 9y agoAll of which we know how to do. A display IS a circuit board by the way.
