Flexible-screen smartphones promise to be the next mega innovations since iPhone pioneered the touchscreen technology.
The recently released Samsung Galaxy Round boasts a curved
screen. LG announced early October that mass production of a 6-inch OLED
flexible screen smartphone will begin next year. Apple is also in this race although no official statement
regarding when it will roll out an iPhone with such technology has been
released.
Flexible screens will be made from wafers, not glass. As
such, they will be thinner and lighter. Developers claim these screens will not
only be bendable, but unbreakable.
Besides what has been stated already, there is no clear
direction regarding how this technology will benefit the smartphone industry.
However, it promises to spearhead smart-watches, smart-glasses and other
wearable gadgets into the limelight.
