okay it's James with the verge and I am here at Mobile World Congress looking at a flexible oh LCD screen now this is a screen made by a company named flex enable they don't make any consumer products so this isn't a workable phone this is just a sort of prototype running a demo here which should have some different screens coming up but they're not so this is a based on plastic transistor technology this means you can curve it around your wrist but you can't really flex it back and forth you can't fold it and open it up like you maybe would with some of the prototype smartphones you've seen from Samsung now flexible screen technology quite a lot of different companies are coming out with this at the moment earlier this year at CES we saw an 18 inch flexible display from LG that could be rolled up like a newspaper so this is an LCD but to get real flexibility that you can kind of bend and flex and maybe even fold me to move to oh le d now that's going to take a bit longer but flex enable the company behind it say this is very near to working and they could get it onto a product within 18 months for more you can check out the verge comm or subscribe to our youtube channel at youtube.com forward slash Virg
