As one of the biggest brands in the OLED display industry, Samsung has left behind a new milestone in foldable displays.
The South Korean company, which plans to have a say in foldable smartphones with Huawei's Galaxy Fold response to the Mate X move,
has now developed an OLED screen that can be folded and unfolded exactly 200 thousand times.
Samsung promises a full 5 years of life
The South Korean technology giant, which is the market leader in small-screen OLED screen production, announced its new generation
foldable OLED screens with a new announcement. Planning to come to the market with a foldable flagship after the
Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z Flip series, Samsung has attracted attention by increasing the foldable life of the OLED screen this time.
In the press release, it is stated that the OLED screen designed by Samsung will have a lifespan of approximately 5 years,
even in extreme daily use, where it is folded and unfolded 100 times. However, the screen will come with a glass protection,
also called UTG, which is only a hair thick. This thin glass, named UTC, both extends the life of the fold and protects the device
from external factors.
Another issue emphasized by Samsung is the bending radius of the foldable screen. The new generation foldable OLED
screen has a folding radius of 1.4 mm, thus reducing the pressure during folding and reducing the production costs. When we look
at Samsung's upcoming calendar, we can say that the next generation foldable smartphones that can use the screen are the first
products to be released.
