Samsung wants to produce bendable displays in the US, files patent
Rumors about a foldable smartphone made by Samsung date from years ago, but aside from the Galaxy Round, which wasn't really a failed attempt, the South Korean company did not push this particular technology.
According to industry sources, the technology behind this patent would allow the organic light-emitting diode displays to be folded and bent inwards. This isn't the first time that Samsung files patents for foldable or bendable displays, but the recent report is more important since it follows another report that claims Samsung was granted a patent for software that could be used to power this type of displays.
On top of that, reputable sources say Samsung plans to launch two new smartphones next year at Mobile World Congress, which will benefit from the bendable technology. One of the phones will fold in half, whereas the other one may unfold from a 5-inch form factor into an 8-inch size.
Although it's hard to believe that the only two high-end smartphones that Samsung launches every year at Mobile World Congress will include foldable, bendable displays, it's worth noting that the South Korean company is trying hard to come up on the market with something really revolutionary. It remains to be seen whether or not these reports hold true.
