Samsung's new fully flexible OLED display looks like it's ready to go
Samsung is pulling a double technological whammy today. In addition to announcing an India-bound tablet with an iris scanner, the company showed off its latest flexible OLED display for smartphones. Mind you, this isn't the kind of screen you get in the Galaxy S7 edge – that's a flexible OLED panel encased in solid curved glass, which makes it more of a non-flexible OLED panel in our book. But it's been known for a while that Sammy is steadily progressing with the development of fully flexible, bendable, twistable, and otherwise super-contorting mobile screens – possibly priming them for inclusion in a 2017 smartphone that's supposed to fold in two, sort of like a wallet.
They see me rollin', they bendin', contortin'...
At SID 2016 in San Francisco, an esteemed display industry event, the company presented a 5.7-inch, 1080p resolution OLED panel that's just 0.01in (0.3mm) thick (although the touch layer isn't counted here) and fully flexible. The display is seen rolling out some sort of contraption that's not unlike an old film cartridge. We expect Samsung will be able to roll out more of these from its OLED manufacturing plants (which benefited from heavy investments recently) in time to make a smartphone that's truly unlike anything else out there.ALSO READ
