> any of the sci-fi scenarios I had imagined

This is what I don't get. It's entirely possible that I'm particularly unimaginative, but I can't even think of any devices with screens I'd want to bend. All of my devices bend exactly as much as I want them to: none (or at least negligibly).

How about a 75' TV you can carry around like a scroll.

It'd be a rather thick scroll. :)

The problem of break-ability again comes to mind.

The use case is niche. All the electronics for control still have to be there, so it isn't featherweight or anything, and it is not exactly pocket sized, and now the screen is really fragile.
