    I mean, bendable glass is a thing, but that’s in optical fibers which are not suitable for a flexible phone display.

    I could imagine some construction that uses a lot of small glass pieces that don’t flex, but move past each other, perhaps. But that would probably have optical challenges and be expensive to make.

    My opinion is “Why would I want my phone to bend? Also wow that’s so expensive.”

      I’m unsure if sheet glass can bend that far, at that thickness, or if it can heal itself after bend stress kicks in.
