Samsung's new AMOLED display is seamless, can be folded
Share:
The seamless display is made from two AMOLED panels, a glass cover, silicone rubber and a modular case. Even when folded 100,000 times, the brightness at the center of the display where the two panels meet, decreased by an amount too small to be noticed by the human eye.
Don't expect to see this technology on a Samsung handset soon. The company says it will take about two years to be used on a new phone as the process needs to be perfected.

This seems to be about the right amount of time for phone evolution. Think about it, first came the iphone which set the standard for smart phones. Then came the HTC EVO which was another evolutionary jump in cell phone technology. Now phones will increasingly get better processors, cameras, and displays, but nothing to amazing. So when Samsung comes out with these displays that fold, bend or what not, this should be the next evolutionary jump for cell phones. The time frame tends to be about 3-4 yrs for every astonishment.

ya. seems pretty cool... but they need to figure everything else out too if they want it to be truly bendy... but i can see how a folding tablet could be a smartphone/tablet combo with this tech.. that cud be a pretty sweet device right there

ah yes that would be nice. and think of pc tablets too. so cumbersome that it makes them hard to use. this should allow them to be lighter and easier to mannage. also think of the gaming industry can you imagine FPS on a curved screen surrounding you making you actually turn your head to see whats next to you.. Real line of sight

my guess we may see this real soon, I would like to see a tab that folds in half to fit on a small backpack or a phone that bends on my pocket making it more comfortable to wear.... again batteries are stopping us

but sun its not there 24/7 :( plus you will need a battery to store the power.... lucky i heard bendable batteries are on the works they work in a cool new way but we may not see them on a phone till 2013

After all phones manufactures get it like 3 years after samsung gets tired of it, the iphone 10 / 11 will use it and say it was the first xD... the only problem i have against fordable screens are: at the end there will be a hard thick strip of plastic that will hold the battery camera and chips. and no more physical qwertys -__- it will all be touch screen.

i would say u r wrong... there are screen tech just as good as the samoled... look at lg phones... and nobody matches the iphone retina diplay ppi... so who exactly did they get that from if nobody has done it...

Samsung is already creating 300+ppi display for devices next year....so Retina display won't be a big deal by next year....and luis_lopez you're right screens like this will eliminate the use of physical qwertys (unless they too can be folded like paper)
