The new display also has a modified structure that increases the durability of the display.

i expect

this doesn't mean that we are going to see paper-thin phones from lg, necessarily, but it does mean that things will be brighter, more durable, and smaller all at once. LG hasn't gone thin-crazy yet, so it seems more likely that we will just see full-featured phones that are still surprisingly small as a result of this display.
