“The flexible display we are looking to introduce sometime in 2012, hopefully the earlier part,” Yi said. “The application probably will start from the handset side.”
As it was mentioned, the first devices providing the technology will be mobile phones the breakthrough can be also installed in some ‘foldable’ iPad-style tablets.
Earlier Samsung videos have shown off OLED screens which can be folded over. The company demonstrated ‘bendable’ AMOLED screens 4.5 inches across and just 0.3mm thick in January this year.
