The problem with the folding screen is that, it wouldn't work very well
if you would try to use it in landscape mode. (a split in the screen
would be annoying). A rolled up screen would be the next answer, but,
again, you would never be able to flatten the thing (i.e. similar to
not being able to flatten the stowaway keyboard).

As for currently understood technology, I think the only answer is a
solid-state screen, but there is hope for the future....
