Samsung Showing 4.5 Inch Flexible AMOLED Displays at CES

   

 

Exciting stuff coming up next month. Samsung Mobile Display has said that it will show off flexible 4.5-inch AMOLED displays at next month’s CES trade show.

According to the release:

Typically, flexible displays use plastic substrates instead of glass substrates because this helps the display become lighter and thinner. Furthermore, the new plastic substrates are not prone to breakage during manufacturing. Previously, plastic materials melted at temperatures over 400 degrees during the manufacturing process, making commercialization difficult.

Development of the 4.5 inch flexible AMOLED prototype, designed for smart phone and tablet PC displays, is a major step on the road to mass production.

This means you could get a whole variety of form factors sporting that flexible display, all at WVGA resolution, but it probably wont hit the market for at least a year.
