More Information On Curved Screen:
Curved screen TVs were introduced to the consumer market in 2013, primarily due to the efforts of Korean companies Samsung and LG, while curved screen projection displays, such as Cinerama, have been around since the 1950s.
One of the issues in the use of the curved screen in commercial electronics is how accurately it can work with a touch-sensor. To drive the solution, LG electronics has developed Infrared-based touch solutions for the curved display.
The first curved panels were produced by bending flat panels that had already been manufactured. This technique resulted in performance issues, such as oval mura (a clouding effect) and color mixture (which causes color impurity and image distortion) observed at its curved edges.
Since the introduction of flexible glass, liquid crystal displays (LCDs) can be applied to curved surfaces without bending existing panels. The screen technologies used to create curved LCD screens are Vertical Alignment, which helps to reduce any white glow that may affect an angular view, and IPS Panels, which are more susceptible to distortion.
