Samsung has succeeded in creating foldable AMOLED displays and showed mankind that the future belongs to non-rigid screens. Samsung Advance Institute Of Technology in South Korea designed & created the first prototype that easily folds in the middle and show no crease even after 1000 attempts. The consumer electronic industry is rapidly advancing towards smaller & flexible devices and there has been a great interest in the development of flexible displays. Researchers have already succeeded in developing displays which can be rolled and bent. Such screen provide the portability factor to large screens. However the biggest problem associated with the flexible displays is the development of crease in the middle. Samsung’s new technology eliminates that problem to a great extent.
Samsung’s researcher said that the displays can soon be commercially produced. The elastic silicone rubber is commercially available for mass consumption by manufacturers. Researchers are now focusing on development of larger foldable displays. Once the technology is fully developed, foldable displays would be integrated in mobile devices, handheld gaming devices, tablet computers and so on.
The future surely is Unexpected!!!
