These are organic light emitting diodes that allow for flexibility. These matrix are very expensive but use less energy and produce a better image, as well as a faster response. These can also create transparent displays and will soon be in on car windshields and such. Real cool stuff.
Well, samsung being into mobile phone, and sony into all other gadgets, since they both seem to have their own version, I could imagine Apple having some really serious competition if the flxible screens are indeed of high qualities and not overly expansive, not to mention shipping... no more broken screens on delivery, no more sides to the screen, just put some sticky tape behind your screen, and you're done installing that 40inch wonder ^_^
@5heeshi Not true. It could be great for windshields, helmets for a HUD in the visor, airplane cockpits. Just have to think outside the box and be creative.
@myoxfermani A truly portable tablet comes to mind. Imagine having a tablet you read your magazines and do your browsing on, that you can roll up and put in your pants pocket.
@myoxfermani The first man who discovered 'explosive' (gun powder at that time) won't have know that this is the same thing that sent man to the moon.
@Coolreaction198 - Apple has worked on flexible screens since the late-1980's, everyone remembers the "knowledge navigator", so you know they'll be the first to have it once the technology is ready. (about 10 years from now)
@tnoyy34rt You sir are such a liar, a Korean tech company in 2002 patented this technology then sold the right's to Samsung and Philips company. Google it and see for yourself.
Useless, but kinda cool, I guess.

@intelliGENeration - no, you can't fold it, that would break the circuits. you'd have to "roll it up".

The real benefit is making the screen FLEXIBLE, not just, bent. See the related videos on the flexable OLED

Only benefit of a flex screen is if you can fold it multiple times. Fold a 20 inch screen into a 5 inch then take it with u....
