As technology advanced, display makers figured out ways to increase the amount of flex they could safely build into a screen. Crucially, they also solved the problem of durability, allowing screens to bend thousands of times without breaking. Eventually, this path led us to today's folding screens, which can fold almost like a sheet of paper. 2, record 1, English, - foldable%20screen
