Tech giant Google is reportedly developing a new display that can connect with other displays to create one giant screen.

The project is the latest that's been reported out of the company's experimental Google X lab, which is responsible for work such as its self-driving car. This obviously sounds far less ambitious, but it still isn't entirely clear what this new tech would be like or how it would work, The Verge reported.

The report suggests that these displays will be used to make gigantic TV screens by plugging together smaller ones. It is also said that the image will be seamless, which means that Google is making them without any sort of surrounding bezel.

Apparently, the displays can also be formed into different shapes.

However, Google's current challenge is in stitching together a single image across the separate screens so that they all work properly in conjunction, the report said.
