Other applications could arise which take advantage of the flexible nature of the substrates, such as electronics embedded into clothing, large-area flexible displays, and [[rollable display | roll-up portable displays]].
=== '''LED (Light Emitting Diode)''' ===
* Inorganic LED - Flexible LED is commonly made into 25m , 50m, 100m or even longer strips using roll-to-roll process. Long neon LED tube is using such a long flexible strip and encapsulated with PVC or silicone diffusing encapsulation.
* Organic LED (OLED) - OLED for foldable phone screen is adopting roll-to-roll processing technology.
=== Thin-film cells ===
