Recently, the news about Samsung's screen is quite popular. First, Apple is gradually getting rid of its dependence on Samsung's screen, resulting in a sharp reduction in Samsung's display production orders, which to some extent increases the pressure on Samsung's display department. In addition, Sharp has also committed itself to the production and manufacturing of display screens in a "desperate" manner. Recently, it is rumored that Samsung may launch a new flexible screen earlier due to various pressures. This kind of screen has been exhibited earlier and is very cool. Let's watch a promotional video first.
Although the above promotional video is a bit exaggerated, it is not totally impossible. Maybe we can see such products in a few years. Here we will first explain the relevant knowledge of Samsung flexible screen.
Flexible AMOLED screen displayed by Samsung at the communication exhibition
Samsung's flexible AMOLED technology has a name of "Youm", which can provide display capability on thin and light transparent materials with only 0.6mm. Although it is so thin, the display effect is not discounted. The main principle of Youm is to change the previously used glass material into plastic design, and provide screen display with luminous organic material. It can retain the advantages of AMOLED screen, such as rich color display, power saving, high visual angle, high contrast and fast response speed, and provide ultra-thin, flexible and non fragile display capabilities. Compared with the existing display technology, this is a major innovation.
At present, Samsung's own AMOLED technology has been widely used in the display field, and is loved by many consumers. AMOLED is a kind of OLED. The OLED display technology is different from the traditional LCD display mode. It does not need backlight and has the characteristics of self illumination. It uses very thin organic material coating and glass substrate. When there is current, these organic materials will emit light. Moreover, OLED display screens can be made lighter and thinner, with a larger viewing angle, and can significantly save power. At present, the most popular Samsung GALAXY SIII and Note II both use HD Super AMOLED screens.
The concept product of flexible screen is very scientific and attractive
Of course, the flexible screen technology is not unique to Samsung. In addition to Samsung, LG, Nokia, Sony and other manufacturers are also stepping up the development of this flexible screen, but they have their own naming methods and are no longer called "Youm". At present, according to rumors, Samsung Youm will probably be launched in the first half of 2013. In terms of time, it is not far from the launch of Galaxy S4. Imagine if the Galaxy S4 could become the first mobile phone equipped with a flexible screen?
