The most apparent benefit is the idea of a "roll-up" display which takes minimal space in transit and unfurls into a nice, big viewing area.

I've long suspected that the prospect of such displays underestimates the value of rigidity in many applications (imagine how awkward it would be to use a tablet that flopped around like a newspaper), but that may be a solvable problem.

Rollable phones/tablets/phablets is also what I'm most exited too...though, my excitement is running bit thin, it's been so long since this concept was first displayed, and 5 years later nothing similar is on the market.

Once (hopefully) they do come out, I'm thinking all this giant screen phone era will be so much laughed upon.
