Those who were impressed by the single slope of the Galaxy Note Edge will love the latest LG display, which debuted at CES 2015. With a curve on either side, controls such as volume that are typically still buttons on touchscreen smartphones are now an extension of such hi-tech screens. Although some people will find practical faults in the LG display when it comes to everyday use and accidents, it's hard not to appreciate the look.
The LG display is essentially a 6-inch Active Bending OLED display. Although still currently a concept, the LG display has a futuristic touch that people will hope to be using very soon. Perhaps when it is released, it will have a better resolution.
