LG ‘flexible’ screen set to revolutionise TV viewing

A flexible TV unveiled by LG could pave the way for a revolution in the way we watch and use screens — rolling them up and taking them with us in and out of the home.

The South Korean manufacturer has revealed two new screens, one of which is so flexible it can be completely rolled up and moved without affecting the picture when used again. Experts say this could completely change the way that we use and interact with the various screens, including smartphones.

Will Findlater, editor-in-chief of gadget magazine Stuff, said: “The idea of a roll-up TV may sound like a solution to a problem no one has, but if you consider that the trend is for ever-larger TVs, being able to roll yours up when you’ve finished watching will mean it has less of an impact on your room. The portable big-screen TV could be a fixture of the future home.”
