Flexible OLED displays have been the source of much hype and debate over the past few years, with relatively little to show for what would be a game-changing technological advancement.<\/p>\n
Samsung has been at the forefront of the movement, teasing numerous prototypes. This time, however, the company claims to have figured out the riddle that is functional flexible OLED displays.<\/p>\n
Instead of utilizing glass within its latest innovation, Samsung attached a transparent plastic cover to a flexible OLED panel so that the plastic emulates the properties of glass, while at the same time retaining ultimate flexibility and durability.<\/p>\n
This subtle change has given Samsung confidence to claim its new flexible OLED is “unbreakable,” even going as far as to get it UL certified.<\/p>\n
According to Samsung, the display continued to function normally after withstanding UL\u2019s military-standard tests of 26 successive drops from a height of 1.2 meters (close to 4 feet), as well as extreme temperatures as high as 71 degrees Celsius (159.8\u00b0F) and as low as -32 degrees Celsius (-25.6\u00b0F).<\/p>\n
While the most obvious application for a high-performing flexible OLED panel is in smartphones, Samsung also plans to utilize the panel for a number of other electronic devices, including portable game consoles, military devices, e-learning tablets, and in-car displays.<\/p>\n
For now, we wait, as mass production has yet to begin on the unique displays. But the potential for flexible OLED panels is imm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
