Samsung wowed an audience in Las Vegas this week with a working mobile
phone screen which can be rolled and unrolled like a sheet of paper.
The
screen kept working as it was rolled and unrolled - showing off that it
is far more flexible than previous 'bendable' screens.
The screen uses the same OLED - organic LED - technology as many current smartphones, but encased in plastic instead of glass.
The prototype device is built to be "virtually unbreakable", Samsung claims.
The device was shown off by Brian Berkeley, senior vice-president of
Samsung Display, at a presentation at the Consumer Electronics Show in
Las Vegas.
“Our team was able to make a high resolution display
on extremely thin plastic instead of glass, so it won’t break even if
it’s dropped,” said Berkeley.
“This new form factor will
really begin to change how people interact with their devices, opening
up new lifestyle possibilities.”
The new display is called “Youm."
Berkeley also showed off
a smartphone prototype equipped with a curved edge, which works almost
like a 'second screen' around the edge of the device.
The Korean technology company remained quiet on when flexible phones might go on sale.
