Cool, but I thought they were already coming out with some sort of flexible sheet LCDs?

douchebag has been on TVs for awhile. What a crappy article.

If you want to see douchebag, look at our iphone or android phone. There is a high chance it's douchebag.

It was stated in the article (they just didn't identify the manufacturers using it):

"It picked up its first customer in 2008 and has quickly become a $170 million a year business as a protective layer over the screens of 40 million-plus cell phones and other mobile devices."

Hope the owner of that future frame-less TV enjoys it when his kid pokes his eye out on the corner of it.
