LG will show off a roll-up OLED display prototype at CES this week. The company is showing off a 25-inch “waterfall” curved LCD, for instance, that can hug the contours of the center console, while a new 10.3-inch panel works with gloved fingers.
The 18-inch size of the display offers intriguing possibilities for potential uses, included large-format tablets, but the tech would need to be downsized to be useful in a smartphone form factor.
LG has already talked about similar technology past year as a proof of concept, but up until now, the company has kept it behind the curtain. This year, we’ll see just how far the technology has come.

We’ve seen this type of concept display from the likes of Sony, Samsung, Sharp, and others in the past.
