So what might be the primary motivation for a Russian design studio to
develop a concept for a satellite navigation system?
Why, to "Rescue the Russian space program" of course:

I can't think of a single other high resolution, square-pixel device
that uses a circular LCD screen.

Well of course. Those are some pretty clever and interesting products. We're
clearly not the only ones who admire their designs though:

That's because they can't be mass produced yet cheap enough. There is big
pressure from car-makers though to develop them, they will be used in
instrument clusters in cars. Not just circular LCDs, but generally LCDs
with curved outlines, these fit much better into things that are curvy to
start with (like car dashboards). I've seen a few prototypes and they look
pretty cool!

Star Trek has always had weird designs for alien computer interfaces.
They were, however, created by simply adhering colored and translucent
strips of plastic to glass.

It's surprising how in almost all adverts for anything with a display, the
display image is "photoshopped" on afterwards. Sometimes this leads to
hilarious outcomes, like when Nokia made an advert for their communicator
style phone, where the photoshopper was a bit over-enthusiastic and
photshopped over the Nokia logo below the display (even though the
reflection of the logo was visible somewhere else), or when a 64x64 pixel
display is shown displaying a very high resolution photo! Of course in tiny
font at the bottom it will tell you that this isn't a real image.

It also means you don't get to see the lame backlight, tiny viewing
angle, and so forth.
Plus, they can make the same video for multiple languages cheaply...
