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)

You aren't thinking corporate profit centric uses...

We can put these on clothing so people can sell their personal ad space to companies!

Look at me, I am the billboard now!

Don't we already do that when we buy branded ANYTHING? Hell, most people pay MORE for certain brands instead of less because you're literally advertising for that brand.

Haha kind of, depends on the individual! Most of my clothes don't have a visible label these days.

Oh, so close. We can put these on clothing so we can sell ad space to companies while you pay extra for the privilege.
