When we first started seeing foldable device concepts a few years back, I was intrigued but not particularly impressed. Many of those early prototypes felt very much like experiments: they were often bulky and the bendy displays seemed fragile. And there were creases.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, display tech has come a long way in just a few years. That was particularly evident at LG Display’s booth at CES this year, where the company showed off two new mobile OLED concepts: a 17-inch laptop\/tablet and an 8-inch smartphone-like device that can fold in two directions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The 17-inch device is far from the first foldable tablet we’ve seen, but LG Display claims this one is \u201calmost <\/em>entirely crease-free.\u201d We looked at it pretty closely, and there was a visible seam along the fold, but it was very difficult to detect when the tablet was fully extended. And there wasn’t any kind of rippling or gap that we sometimes see with foldables. Moreover, LG says the display was tested for up to 50,000 folds, so it should be pretty durable.<\/p>\n
