Smartphones with Flexible Display will Face the World in 2013

Rakesh | 03 Dec 2012 | Android News/ LG/ News/ Samsung

Imagine a day when you have a razor-thin smartphone! You keep this weight-less, paper-like,  bendable stuff  in your pocket, unfold it, use it, roll it, even drop it willingly without fear of being smashed. We have been hearing of a flexible phone since 2005 when Philips demonstrated the first prototype of a rollable display. A number of tech giants have been working to make this possible. If you are a web-monger, you must have seen demos of a flexible display popping now and then. We just wonder if we shall ever be able to have such a smartphone in our hands!

The answer is obvious if you believe a BBC report that says we’ll be seeing the first foldable/rollable phone as soon as next year. Some major tech companies like Samsung, LG, Philips, Sharp, Sony and Nokia are planning to release such a phone with flexible display in 2013.

The reports also claim that Samsung has sent its flexible OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) displays to its mass-production units and will be able to become that first company in the world to come with a flexible smartphone in the first half of the next year. According to a Samsung spokesperson their displays will be “foldable, rollable, wearable and more, [and] will allow for a high degree of durability through their use of a plastic substrate that is thinner, lighter and more flexible than… conventional LCD technology.”

Another question, however that rises in our mind is if it is possible to make a truly foldable phone without a foldable motherboard and a  foldable battery. How will Samsung manage all this? Just wait and watch- that is what we can say for now.
