The South Korean OLED specialist LG has reportedly patented what could be called a sliding TV. Its display is stretched across a new kind of moving armature that allows it to expand outward horizontally when activated. This screen also bends backwards around the edges of its frame, making it appear bezel-less on either side.

...What's the point?? The only use I could think of for this is if the TV were usually vertical and would turn 90° as it unrolls, then it could deliver a big picture in usually confined spaces. Even then it would only make sense if it were able to expand to >120", because a regular, thin OLED panel doesn't take up much space even at 100", nobody who could afford a 100" OLED would need it to roll down to a smaller size, it would be a total gimmick.

If it's harder to break and cheaper to make (in 10 years) those could be advantages.

It looks like the TV companies are throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. After you have gigantic 8K HDR MicroLED, what else do you need?
