Samsung is ready to unveil their new stretchable OLED panel tomorrow at Display Week 2017; being held in Los Angeles, California.
The new 9.1-inch OLED panel has been described as the ultimate product in flexible technology and many are excited to be able to finally catch of a glimpse of it this week.
The display can allegedly stretch about 1.2cm when pressure is applied and according to Samsung even when it is stretched it is still able to maintain a high degree of resolution.
They aren't ready to roll out the product to the market for sale just yet however.
The new technology is still said to be in early development stages and it isn't known exactly when it might finally be realized as a commercial product that is ready to be distributed.
As far as flexible OLED tech, they aren't the only ones either. We might soon see some graphene flexible OLED displays come to market as well, seeing as researchers in South Korea have been researching that technology for some time now.
Other companies have also tried to make their own version of the flexible OLED display, aside from Samsung, like the LG model that has already been unveiled.
Current OLED displays are able to be transformed from one side, say Samsung reps, and this new technology they've established is able to be bent and rolled from both sides.
The 1.2cm distance that the screen is able to be bent at the moment, might not seem like that much but they are still in the early stages of development. This model that they are getting ready to officially unveil tomorrow is being referred to as the world's first stretchable OLED display.
