I'm wondering if there will be curved or flexible LCD screens in the 
near future, or if they exist now...and what principle of design or 
functionality requires the substrate to be flat. Are there other shape 
requirements, or could one conceivably design an LCD that is long and thin? 
It may not sound practical, but I'm curious. thanks, NATE
