That should be the next iPhone, just a blade of glass that you could make transparent or opaque...
I think you're confusing concept art with prototype. There is no antenna, no processor, nothing that would make this functionally possible. There are some things that conductive polymers can not do well. Like be microprocessors or antennas. These would be visible. This is just a display concept for their "POLYMAGIC LED Glass". It has a watch-battery and a mSD chip for playing the video back.
NOT A PHONE. NOT A PROTOTYPE. JUST A COOL IDEA.
