Samsung plans to launch flexible display phones in 2012

The day after Nokia showed off a flexible tablet with a flexible display , Samsung announced its intention to launch the release of mobile phones with a flexible display in 2012. It seems that in 2012 the main priority for some manufacturers of mobile devices (for some reason, there is confidence that other manufacturers will soon begin to report on their own flexible phones / tablets) will be flexible displays and cases. The leadership of the South Korean company hopes that the flexible phone will be able to repeat the success of the Galaxy S II, sold in the amount of 10 million in 5 months.

Most likely, the production of such devices will begin in early 2012, so soon we should hear additional news from Samsung. The corporation previously showed some prototypes, and to consolidate the success was bought by the company Liquavista, whose development directly relates to flexible displays. In addition to flexibility, these displays can also boast of very low power consumption, so this is another incentive for the speedy implementation of such screens. True, I would like to know the detailed characteristics of the displays, because I would not like to get a deterioration of the image.

Earlier this year, Samsung showed a good prototype of a flexible display that can withstand significant deformations, such as bending in half. Now, the development of devices for such a display is in full swing. It would probably be superfluous to say what advantages the devices with flexible screens will have. Well, for example, the concept of "broken display" can completely disappear from the column "description of the problem" in the service centers. To break such a screen would be simply impossible. Of course, the devices should become lighter, thinner. Those. mobility of devices will improve.

And any phone bracelets, tablets and reading rooms that can be bent will become a reality. Such devices will finally be able to stop being just a beautiful, rendered model, and appear in reality. According to the Samsung management, cell phones / smartphones with flexible displays will be the first to go on sale, and then tablets, readers and other devices will appear.

Well, it remains only to wait.
