Is there a future for flexible glass?

In the last three years, we have seen several companies showcasing ultrathin glass at tradeshows around the world. These glass substrates are so thin that they can be bent and rolled almost like a plastic film. But despite the fanfare surrounding the technical prowess, the future of flexible glass remains uncertain.
