basically, current displays have their circuitry within the bezel, the area around the edges of the screen or behind it (though the side usually make it thinner).
For example, running through all the edges of the 3ds is the circuitry. All that plastic conceals it.
Alternatively, free-form displays have the circuitry actually running through the screen. Obviously, this allows manufacturers to save tons of space by hiding all the circuits within the screen so they can make devices smaller.
It also allows for every manufacturer to have a distinct and unique design, which will help differentiate from other products.
It's a very exciting piece of tech, and I really hope both sony and nintendo use it in a creative way.
Just a half-brained thought, you could just have a screen with the buttons actually coming out of the screen itself.

Now, THAT would be interesting!

Exactly!
