LG shows off a TV you can roll up like a newspaper

LG展示柔性屏電視：可以像報紙一樣卷起

At this week’s CES technology expo, LG will be one of many TV makers to show off an impressive lineup of super-duper-high-definition TVs. But there’s one thing that separates LG from the competition.

在本周的CES科技展會上，LG是展示超清畫質電視的眾多電視制造商之一，但有一個亮點卻讓LG從競爭中脫穎而出：

You can roll up one of LG’s TVs like a newspaper.

你可以像報紙一樣卷起LG的一款電視。

The 18-inch display is just one of the concept designs LG will be unveiling, as it attempts to predict the future of television screens. Also on display will be a 55-inch TV that is as thin as a piece of paper and a 65-inch "extreme-curve" set of TVs that bend inwards and outwards.

這個18英寸柔性屏正是LG將要展示的概念設計之一，它試圖預測電視屏幕的未來。同時參展的還有一款薄如紙張的55英寸電視機和一款65英寸的“極限曲線”屏，向內向外都可以彎曲。

None of these TV will be sold this year -- and it’s possible they may never hit stores. It’s also not totally clear why you’d want to roll up or bend your TV.

這些電視今年都不會上市——有可能它們從來都不會在商店里出售。同時你也并不完全清楚，為什么你想卷起或彎曲你的電視。

Like automakers’ "concept cars," LG’s TVs are meant to show off what’s possible, even if it’s not yet marketable, affordable or able to be mass-produced for customers. But some elements of LG’s creations may come to your next television screen.

正如汽車制造商的“概念車”，LG電視只是為了展示這個技術的可能性，即使當前還不適于市場銷售、消費者還負擔不起、或者還無法批量生產。但LG的一些創作元素可能被運用到你的下一個電視上。

TV makers continue to up the ante, developing ultra-high definition televisions that produce richer pictures, virtually unnoticeable bezels and thinner profiles. But those TVs are becoming virtually indistinguishable from one another.

電視制造商繼續加碼，研發出能顯示更為豐富畫面色彩的超高清晰度電視，視覺上不易被發現的斜墊面和極致纖薄的厚度。但這些電視變得很難識別開來。

It’s concepts like LG’s that may one day push the industry forward into new markets and technologies it hasn’t yet considered.

類似LG的這種設計理念，將來有一天可能推動電視行業運用史無前例的技術，開辟全新的市場。
