Forget curved TVs – you will be able to roll this one in your suitcase and take it with you on your vacations. That’s a promise that South Korean giant has just made to the world.

The company today announced that it has been able to create an 18-inch OLED panel that has enough flexibility to roll into a tube of 3cm radius without affecting the function of the display.

“This proves that the Display can bring rollable TVs of more than 50 inches to the market in the future,” the company claims.

That isn’t all – Display has promised that it is working on a 60-inch panel now, and it should be able to roll out the bigger rollable (pun unintended) panels by 2017.

“We are confident that by 2017, we will successfully develop an Ultra HD flexible and transparent OLED panel of more than 60 inches, which will have transmittance of more than 40 per cent and a curvature radius of 100R, thereby leading the future display market,” In-Byung Kang, Senior Vice-President and Head of the leading South Korean company, said.

The 18-inch flexible OLED panel that the company unveiled today has an HD resolution of 1200 X 810 with almost 1 million mega-pixels. The panel’s curvature radius is 30R
