On April 3, it was reported that Samsung is a large group with many subsidiaries. One is Samsung Electronics, which is responsible for developing Galaxy series mobile phones, and the other is Samsung Display, which is responsible for producing screens for smart phones, televisions, computers and other products. According to South Korean media reports, Samsung Electronics plans to develop its own foldable glass without the help of Samsung Display to reduce the cost of the screen.

It is reported that the mobile department of Samsung Electronics has contacted "multiple folding glass manufacturing companies". In this way, they can increase the competition between suppliers and reduce the price. At the same time, the folding screen technology will also improve over time. Smart phones like Galaxy Z Flip have a very thin glass panel that can bend without breaking, because it is very thin.

Samsung Electronics believes that if they only rely on Samsung display, they will not be able to obtain thicker and smaller folding panels. In terms of cost, the foldable glass of Galaxy Z Flip is currently priced at about $40, while the ordinary tempered glass of ordinary smart phones is priced at $2.

The goal of this internal competition is to reduce the price and workload of the display department, while maintaining the high quality and high performance of the internal technology, as Samsung has done for camera modules and mobile phone metal casings.
