Samsung’s newest technology could be the end of cracked phone screens. The company debuted its flexible phone prototype on Wednesday at the International CES in Las Vegas. Game changer.
This means is that phones with glass screens could soon be replaced by screens made of flexible plastic, providing more durability and shock absorption. The benefits to the new technology also means information could be displayed as far as the screen’s edge, which glass screen phones currently cannot do. According to the Associated Press:
Brian Berkeley, head of Samsung Electronics Co.’s display lab in San Jose, Calif., demonstrated a phone that consists of a matchbox-sized hard enclosure, with a paper-thin, flexible color screen attached to one end. The screen doesn’t appear flexible enough to fold in half like a piece of paper, but it could bend into a tube.
The phone was displayed running Windows Phone 8 and a variety of pre-recorded videos but did not lose its color quality when bent.
Unfortunately, Samsung didn’t say when the flexible screen will be available, but it is anticipated that the technology will be used in the next year.
