Bangalore: Samsung has teamed up with Corning to make a bendable Gorilla Glass screen which is much thinner and lighter. Samsung’s YOUM brand which focuses on AMOLED display is now entirely concentrating on flexible displays, which are expected to hit the gadget market by the end of 2012. The company has already displayed a prototype model of its flexible display at CES 2011 and had said that these screens will grace the tablet or smartphones by 2012.
Samsung is already known for their best displays, especially in their tablets. These new screens will be thinner, lighter and unbreakable than present displays. The secret behind the flexible nature of these screens will be its film-based encapsulation and TFT layers, in place on glass. This complete lack of glass substrate removes the brittleness from the display and makes it resistive from breakage.
LG has already launched its flexible E-paper display which is meant to the used in E-book. With the release of bendable displays by Samsung the tablet and smartphone industry will be getting a new face as we will be seeing some good looking wraparound smartphones, foldable tablets and lots of other ‘bendy screened’ gadgets in the market.
