Samsung has developed a foldable display screen mobile prototype.Research was conducted at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology , South Korea. When unfolded, the mobile looks like a regular smartphone.
The display consists of two active matrix organic light-emitting-diode (AMOLED) panels covered by a silicone window that prevents scratches and can serve as a touchscreen, the Daily Mail reports.
When folded,there appears just a millimeter gap between the panels,but when the same is unfolded,it appears so normal without demarcation.
The researchers tested the foldable display's durability by performing 100,000 folding-unfolding cycles. They said the key to success was controlling the optical properties of the materials.
"All the materials in a foldable window unit (glasses and silicone rubber) must have almost the same optical properties and attach to each other strongly without any optical property change," Samsung's HongShik Shim said.
Even though the technology tempts yet the manufacturing costs are too high.
