LG will launch smartphones with flexible displays in 2017
Table of contents:
LG is one of the companies with the strongest commitment to OLED-powered displays alongside South Korea's Samsung. OLED has a number of advantages over IPS panels and one of them is the great flexibility that screens can achieve with this technology because they do not have a backlight layer, which can make them thinner.
LG's OLED technology allows you to create flexible displays for smartphones
LG wants to give a new impetus to its OLED technology to differentiate itself from its competitors and is already working to have flexible OLED screens on smartphones in 2017. These new devices would take advantage of the benefits of OLED technology to be much thinner than the current ones as well as flexible.
Senior Emerging Technologies and OLED analyst at IHS Technology, Jerry Kang, predicts that the smartphones, tablets and wereables of the future will be roll-up and foldable with flexible features. Quite a challenge because flexible screens may be relatively simple but a smartphone has many more components and many of them are delicate such as the motherboard, the battery and many others that it is not so easy to make them flexible.
In any case, it seems very clear that the future of mobile devices passes through flexible screens, although not the entire device is. The flexibility on the screen could bring great advantages as panels much more resistant to falls than the current ones.
The mobile device market is very juicy and all companies want to take advantage of any opportunity they find to differentiate themselves and gain added value.
