How does the Essential PH-1 have a curved LCD?

How does the new Essential Phone have a cutout for the camera and curved corners even though it is an LED display?

When the rumor of the notch in the iPhone 8 came out everyone was talking how Apple would HAVE to use an AMOLED screen (Which it will) because LCD displays can only be rectangular.

Also, I figured I would point out that PH-1 spells out PH-One, or Phone. It's pretty funny and most people are just getting it.

Look at how displays are made.

Neither type has to be rectangular or flat.
