When you hear about roll-able TV screens you know that the future you have been waiting for has perhaps already arrived. LG electronics announced a rather different kind of OLED TV on Friday, which can be rolled up like a newspaper or in to a tube. It has an incredibly flexible, 18 inch screen with a resolution of 1200 x 810 and it can fascinatingly be rolled into a cylinder measuring 3 cm across.

The company has revealed that the high flexibility is due to high molecular substance based polyimide film. As if that even remotely helps us understand how it works! Regardless, the fact that we can say with certainty that something like this will be available for use in the near future is exciting.
LG has said that it will be able to manufacture and release a 60 inch, semitransparent ultra-HD TV by 2017.
Even though price speculation this early is pointless, we can shed some light regarding its potential uses.
First things first, it will most probably look incredibly attractive and futuristic. But be that as it may, it also has a number of genuine uses. It’ll allow users to carry a TV in their bags and perhaps even their pockets. It will also save you the cost and physical stress of moving since it should be the very definition of portable. So the only additional expectation that we have from LG is that they release is sooner, because it seems like it’s going to be amazing!
