Flexible displays would pretty much rock (hence the military prototype above). It would allow you to have a much bigger display stored in a much smaller area. It’s like how the brain has folds – increases the surface area in a tiny space. Heck, the surface area of the brain is roughly around 1-2 pages … Continue reading
