Flexible OLEDs are the displays of the future in every sense imaginable--the picture is great, the panels are unbelievably slim, and they bend! They also happen to be incredibly durable, evidenced here by some guy taking a hammer to a Samsung flexible OLED panel.
As you can see, traditional LCD panels quickly fall to pieces when hit with the hammer. But the flexible OLED isn't so much as bothered by being struck with a hammer, and continues to go about its business. Seeing as I've cracked a couple of screens in my gadgets over the years, I'm sold. [via Core77]

I think all speakers will become paper-thin also in the future, just like all the screens.
How much will it cost?
He seemed to get some as of yet undefined pleasure from fondling that screen.
to fb36:
i think the screen will be the speakers, transmiting soundwaves thru the flexible screen.
although that may reduce video quality.
