It is only a matter of time now before OEMs start bending our display reality on our devices. Samsung has already demoed their plans for flexible LED displays, when they showed off a YOUM display prototype at CES 2013. Looks like Samsung is planning on utilizing that YOUM display for the Galaxy Note 4, giving us three sides to look at. They plan on manufacturing a million of these three-sided displays, to see how people respond to them. The Galaxy Round, which was Samsung’s first attempt and a drastically curved display, didn’t really win the hearts of consumers, so they want to test the waters with the three-sided display before mass-producing them.
It is also said that Samsung has invested $1.9 billion in flexible OLEDs which most likely would show up in 2015 for the Galaxy Note 5. Only setback they are having is the battery, and a source claimed that, “Samsung’s battery segment is still way behind compared to its progress in display technology.†They still have high hopes that they will be successful in solving that issue, and get these displays in production.
