Prototypes of a new flexible and supposedly-indestructible OLED screen will be showcased by LG at the Society for Information Display’s annual conference this week.
This will mark the very first time that the flexible OLED tech, 5-inch flexible display,has been publicly shown. According to LG, the plastic creation will be unbreakable. Uhmmm..let’s wait and see!
Also on show will be 5.5-inch and 7-inch HD Oxide TFT panels. The 5.5-incher will have a 1.0mm bezel that will allow for borderless smartphones which emit less heat.
Flexible screens open up a whole range of design possibilities and LG isn’t the only major manufacturer to enter into this market, with Samsung also venturing down the same avenue.
According to the Korean site etnews, Samsung Display’s efforts to get flexible displays out to market have been stalled by problems with the displays’ encapsulation technology.
