Sony had a prototype flexible OLED display on show at its monumental CES stand this year, along with a few flexible OLED concept devices. The video-playing OLED was small and not quite a roll-up screen, but it shows the kind of display we can look forward too in a few years once someone figures out how to make cheap, large OLED panels.

Unfortunately, there was an angry official on hand to shoo away photographers should they try to snap Sony’s OLED concept gadgets, but Endgadget has somehow managed to bag a few shots (maybe one of its 20-strong CES crew distracted Mr Angry). These, along with our video of the Sony flexible OLED screen in action, after the cut.

The mock-up concept devices showed a folding ultraportable with no hinge and a single OLED display on the inside – presumably the idea is that the screen can fill the whole area, or the bottom half can be used for a touch-sensitive keyboard.

Sony’s ebook reader concept looked a good deal slicker than its current PRS-505 Reader and the idea is that a flexible OLED screen will give a closer feel to that of a paperback book – albeit without anywhere to stick your thumb when you want to save a page. Last up was a flexible OLED watch that looked more like a fashion bracelet.
