A roll-up set could have a tremendous impact on TV shipping and storage. Today, big-screen TVs are often shipped via cargo services since they're too big to be delivered affordably by regular mail. Flexible TVs could be delivered in tubes. Flexible TVs could be delivered in tubes.
One of the displays is even transparent. Again, this isn't the first transparent screen, but LG says it's achieved an impressive 30% transmittance, which is a step up from the 10% transmittance of previous transparent screens based on LCD tech. That means users will be able to see objects behind the display more clearly, which could be useful in some situations.

This 18-inch OLED panel from LG Display is both flexible and transparent. It has 30% transmittance, a big improvement over the 10% transmittance of current LCD tech, LG says.

LG was able to build the bodacious bendy displays by using a polymer as the backplane of the panel instead of conventional plastic. The polymer both increased the flexibility of the OLED panel and reduced its thickness.
With the new tech LG says it's confident it'll be able to build a 60-inch 4K TV that's both transparent and flexible by 2017. While building something and bringing it to market are two different things, the company's new tech is a big step forward on the road to thinner, transparent and flexible screens. And maybe someday soon, lifting a big-screen TV onto a stand will no loner be a two-man job.
