You know about the AMOLED technology, present on some monitors? It is an innovative technology, superior to the LCD. For example, it can have 150% brightness more than the usual LCD screens. It also has greater visibility, regardless of the angle you watch.
In motion pictures, it has greater stability, without showing those conventional smears. But beyond the visual characteristics, they have a factor of great importance: they are flexible. In the sense that you can fold them or roll them up, as is done with a paper.
Researchers at the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, South Korea, looking for new models which are foldable AMOLED screen without leaving marks or wounds on the screen. So they developed a new AMOLED screen with folding seams, and you can fold them in half, leaving no apparent crease.
To view the product, the research team used two panels AMOLED, a silicone rubber, a glass lid and a modular case. The prototype was bent 100 000 times, a physical test of the military level, the middle slot and lost only 6% of its brightness.
On the possible commercialization of the product to the consumer, Samsung said that the research will continue, and two years must be released. This period is for new materials being produced. Since 2009, Samsung has been conducting research in his Institute, new screens. The first time a AMOLED screen was presented during the CES 2009 was in a cell using two folding screens of any kind. Below is a demo video of the day:
