Samsung's Flexible Display in Final Stage of Development


Bangalore: While every other mobile manufacturer is attempting to clout the other, Samsung has been trying to lead the race with innovations. The South Korean manufacturer’s latest foray into the future of mobile displays, the flexible AMOLED screens are reportedly in the final juncture of development and production is expected by early next year.

 Samsung had introduced its flexible AMOLED screens in 2012 Computer Electronics Show. The company wanted to release the product in market last year, but the production was delayed.

AMOLED, the display technology which uses organic materials will make the mobile thinner. Plastic screens will be used for Samsung’s flexible OLED technology instead of glass, which will make it more lighter, durable and even bendable.

Many mobile companies, including Sony are working on flexible displays. But Samsung will hopefully be the first one to release it into market as it has reached the final stages of development. According to WSJ, the mass production of flexible displays is meant to “differentiate” Samsung’s products from the rest of manufacturers.

According to Lee Cheng-Hoon, vice-president of Samsung’s Display unit, release date for the product has not been finalized
