LG 18-inch display can be rolled up on display at CES 2016

The Korean company will show in Las Vegas a prototype rollable display that could pave the way to the realization of futuristic portable devices that can be put as a daily paper.

LG Display is ready to show a prototype 18-inch screen that can be rolled up like a sheet of paper: the public will be able to admire at the Consumer-Electronics Show held in Las Vegas this week.

The company had already talked about this technology in 2014 and last year had brought a first prototype at CES always kept hidden but the mass. When it was announced for the first-time LG said that it was just an OLED panel of 3 cm diagonal and a resolution of 1,200×810 pixels.

It is not known, in addition to the diagonal, which things have changed in the past: more information will be available in the coming days, when LG will unveil the particular display.

It can roll up or store just as you can with the paper counterpart.
