LEDinside observed the on-going trend in the display industry that, apart from backlight technology revolution and big size display trend, novel display models are also focuses of many display manufacturers.
Currently TV brands can hardly show new tricks with conventional displays. As a result, they are trying to demonstrate innovative display models to attract attention of the consumers. At CES 2020, LEDinside found several companies following the direction.

Rotatable Display
