Samsung Introduces Prototype of Foldable AMOLED Display
Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, South Korea,
recently introduced a prototype of foldable AMOLED display,
which will never crease. This display can be used to make foldable
touchscreen mobile devices.
Researchers at the institute discovered
that despite putting the screen through 100,000 folding-unfolding
cycles found that relative brightness at the junction decreased by
just 6% compared to regular devices. This difference is considered
negligible as the human eye cannot spot the difference easily. This
technology will enable mobile device manufacturers to create smaller
devices with larger screens.
HongShik Shim, one of the lead researchers, said, "All the materials in a foldable window unit (glasses and silicone rubber) must have almost the same optical properties and attach to each other strongly without any optical property change."
