Samsung Display, one of the leading brands in OLED display technologies, announced its new rollable screen designed for tablets and smartphones at an event it held today. The rollable OLED screen, called “Rollable Flex” and reaching a size of 12.4 inches when fully opened, has the capacity to turn a smartphone into a tablet in its simplest terms.
The foldable or rollable OLED screens that have been released to date generally increase the screen size by 3 times on a millimeter basis. Samsung Display’s new OLED screen significantly increases this capacity. Because the screen, which has a diagonal length of 49 mm when closed, reaches a length of 254.4 mm when fully opened. This means a growth of more than 5 times.
Here’s what Samsung’s wraparound screen looks like
Explaining the screen they developed, Samsung Display officials said, “The biggest feature is that we can turn a hard-to-carry large-sized screen into a portable one by making it rollable.” they used the phrase. This statement is enough to explain why the company’s new OLED screen is an important innovation.
Samsung’s new OLED screen seems to break new ground in smartphone and tablet technologies. Because the use of this screen in commercially produced devices will eliminate the need for consumers to have tablets. Because the phone in your hand will also be able to reach the size of a tablet. But we’ll have to wait to see when that happens. Samsung hasn’t said anything about when the Rollable Flex will be used in actual products.
