This stretchable technology goes beyond expanding its size, though, as you can freely twist, extrude, and fold it without damaging the screen.

Those look pretty cool, Im not sure where I would use it yet, but I'm sure they will end up being useful for various things. A lot of displays in dashboard look displeasing to the eye to me, I'm sure curving screens could help with that. I foresee many a dick joke being made with them as well. (Couldn't help myself)
