Foldable OLED concept could mean big screens in little pockets

Posted on 25 November 2008, Last updated on 11 November 2019 by

Here is a pretty cool video of what appears to be a working screen that is playing back video while the bezel that encapsulates is folds in half. This is just a concept from Samsung right now and probably has lots of technical limitations; it is probably still many years away. If technology like this can be squeezed into pocket sized devices, it could mean some pretty amazing displays on MIDs that don’t have any issue with folding up and going with you in your pocket during your day to day travels.

    This looks different from the Philips foldable screen technology (which is far from production).

    It seems the screen is solid but split in 2 with a tiny bezel seperating them. Since it’s OLED that seems plausible? Still great idea which will allow doubling of screen size.
