A phone and tablet in one? It’s not far off, with foldable displays

foldable display

The concept of a universal is pretty cool, mostly because you can control many of your home’s devices, lights, heating, etc. with the push of a single button on one controller.

But the common theme here is the combination of multiple functions into one device — so what if you could have one device, with the functionality of both your tablet and smartphone?

Well it’s not too far off, especially after taking a look at SEL’s tri-foldable display. The display was shown off at the Display Innovation 2014 event in Yokohama. It’s an 8.7-inch, Full HD flexible panel, and can be folded up to — wait for it — over 100,000 times, all without the viewing experience being compromised.

Check out a video of the display in action below. You can definitely expect devices to come to market with this display (or something very similar) in the next few years or so, maybe even less.
