Are You Ready To Mistreat Your Smartphone? More Than Before?

LONDON – Are you ready to mistreat your smartphone? To bend it? More than before? In few months we will be able to use a phone or a tablet with a new flexible display. LG Company has officially announced that its first flexible Oled panel for smartphones has entered mass production.

The bendable panel will be made in screen sizes up to 6-inches and can be used in phones enabling different designs than we are used to today.  “LG Display is launching a new era of flexible displays for smartphones with its industry-leading technology,” said Sang Deog Yeo, executive vice-president and chief technology of ficer of LG Display. “The flexible display market is expected to grow quickly as this technology is expected to expand further into diverse applications including automotive displays, tablets and wearable devices. Our goal is to take an early lead in the flexible display market by introducing new products with enhanced performance and differentiated designs next year.”

To create the bendable display, LG Display builds the OLED panel on plastic substrates rather than glass. It is vertically concave from top to bottom with a radius of 700mm. The manufacturer claims that this opens up “a world of design innovations in the smartphone market”. The panel is also just 0.44mm thin and weighs just 7.2g. That’s a new chance for stressful people to mistreat their mobile phones. More than before! (A.A.)
