Samsung wowed an audience in Las Vegas
this week with a working mobile phone
screen which can be rolled and unrolled like
a sheet of paper.
The screen kept working as it was rolled
and unrolled - showing off that it is far more
flexible than previous 'bendable' screens.
The screen uses the same OLED - organic LED
- technology as many current smartphones,
but encased in plastic instead of glass.
The prototype device is built to be "virtually
unbreakable", Samsung claims.

The device was shown off by Brian Berkeley,
senior vice-president of Samsung Display, at
a presentation at the Consumer Electronics
Show in Las Vegas.
“Our team was able to make a high
resolution display on extremely thin plastic
instead of glass, so it won’t break even if it’s
dropped,” said Berkeley.
“This new form factor will really begin to
change how people interact with their
devices, opening up new lifestyle
possibilities.”
The new display is called “Youm."
Berkeley also showed off a smartphone
prototype equipped with a curved edge,
which works almost like a 'second screen'
around the edge of the device.
The Korean technology company remained
quiet on when flexible phones might go on
sale

This is nice.

Still waiting for the hologram phone.

mokia morph was actually an experiment on nano technology. the technology samsung brought is just for a mobile phone screen not to break. nokia morph is more than dat. nokia morph is about making a mobile phone conform to any shape. Like if u wanna put d phone on ur wrist it conform or bend to it.
