Folding consoles and Inverage Radio: Will the future of screens be flexible?

Which route has been traveled since the first Samsung Galaxy Folder launch in 2019! A mixture of curiosity and technical imaginary concepts, since this folding screen terminal, not one in Samsung electronics, but two lines of the product. The main ingredient in the heart of these lines called the Galaxy Z Fold and the Z Flip is clearly folding olyed slab. One element that comes from Samsung Electronics, but from a subsidiary of it: Samsung Display.

And the people we met on the Samsung display stand wanted to convince us that they were not part of a parent company. Logical speech: Samsung display is the largest provider of OLED slab in the world. And like the Sony’s semiconductor solution (SSS), Sony’s subsidiary, Samsung Display provided its parents’ company Samsung Electronics as well as competitors like Apple and others.

After abandoning the LCD in 2022, Shenzhen China Star Opt Electronics Technology (TCL subsidiary) reopens, the Samsung display mainly manufactures flat tiles. But you had to be blind so that the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona did not understand the emphasis on folding screens.

Stand folding portable console

From the inauguration of the residential room, the first images filtered from the Samsung display stand were the same as a portable console such as the Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck (also on the stand, since the OLED version screen is produced by the Samsung Display). The feature of this machine was clearly its folding screen.

A screen that allows you to imagine the future where your portable console will be more easily transported, as is evidenced by our photos. The question that was certainly burning all the lips was whether it was just a simple technical demonstration or future products?

In fact, this is an internally fully developed prototype, as we were described in the position. But has this prototype wrapped the eye of some manufacturers? Here, no answer, because as a supplier of components, employees cannot comment on the products whose users want to develop. What we have learned is that the components and technologies they need are available for manufacturers that need.

Clearly: Any Dell or Lenovo or any other player in electronics can achieve this folding screen and create a product with it.

Search for products

In addition to the console prototype, the Samsung Display Stand showed many other applications and products: a Remova -style suit case that includes a large vertical screen, a faulty screen technology, a radio, an other concept that stands like a veil.

And as a good technology seller, Korean also brought visual guarantees, such as a test resistance test for opening/screen closing action, which aims to prove that its slab supports less than 400,000 operations – it is difficult to check, because it should be active for weeks!

Like a console, most prototypes offered existed to highlight different technologies. Screen fragility, folding resistance, etc. The latter is the main challenge of folding screens – a collection of hardship.

Because depending on the folding requirements of these flexible slabs – in two, S or G – the obstacles are not the same. Consumers (NDR: Product Manufacturers, Not End Buyers) Plan to connect the screen must be planned to be planned. Once it is established, the Samsung display is taken into account when designing a full slab to guarantee reliable use for expected use.

Such a screen design is not a linear construction, but a real technical sandwich.

A combined technologies portfolio

In addition to the folding screens, the Samsung display showed a series of innovations brought under the lead banner (1). On this portfolio menu, a design that reduces energy consumption by up to 40 %, demonstrates its brightness to read the screen to 5000 CD/muter (or NITS) in the middle of Sahara or even in the middle of a new anti -reflected surface treatment.

Isolated technologies, but, which, can be found in large, according to the features of the target product. In addition, a company employee has confirmed us that all these technologies are not only available for traditional screens, but also on folding slab.

Thus, imagining a portable console with a highly resistant folding OLED 120 Hz screen, pushing several thousand nuts, which has an anti -reflective coating and has the ability to reduce its consumption on the fly according to use. What is missing is the right industrialist to start.

Even without considering the screen that connects all these skills, the crowd at the Samsung Display Stand shows that folding screens want to develop new product classes in the near future. Gaming in mind?
