A real thin screen until bendable is recent breakthrough. This technology can make perfect flat screen TV with liquid crystal technology (LCD) which available in market nowadays.

If accidentally fell, screen with this newest technology will not break because it’s very flexible. This newest screen combines two technology types there is: thin organic transistor layer which applied to make screen having flexible character, and organic electroluminescent screen that bloom the light if flown by elekron.

"In the future, this screen can be placed in billboard, watch, even applied in clothes," said Chisato Kitsukawa from Sony. "Possibly the technology also can used as wallpaper"
