It is unrealistic to cool! Scientists have presented to the public ultrathin flexible displays.

We live in an era of rapid technological progress. Anything else that 25 years ago we vaguely imagined that such a computer, does not even dreamed of a mobile phone and certainly did not imagine that after two decades of almost everyone in the pocket will be a hybrid phone and computer.

While it is difficult to understand how gadgets will look like in five or ten years. After all, the fashion for these changes fairly quickly. For example, in the early 2000s, an epidemic of addicted miniaturization of all phones. But there is a limit, and when the button was hard to get into without a pair of tweezers, the phone again began to return to human dimensions. And with the advent of smart phones with touch screens, it became fashionable to show off its diagonal display. Even if such telefonische did not fit into any pocket, the owner felt incredibly steep.

Most likely, the next few years we are waiting for the next wave of "slimming" personal gadgets. Now they will be radically thin, paper-thin, and can be bent.



furthest in the development of flexible displays logged Korean company Samsung and LG. They have already presented for everyone to see their model of flexible displays.

Samsung relies on "soft" screens of smartphones. The company even managed to patent the concept of a fully flexible smartphone, the output of which was announced in the next year!



Their competitors of LG's decided to surprise the audience size of their flexible displays. They presented a 18-inch monitor with a native resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels. This screen can be freely fold into a tube in either direction. Just do not get carried away too much, because there is a limit. The manufacturer guarantees operation at a bending radius of at least three centimeters.



In addition, LG made a huge flexible video panel, a diagonal 55-inch (almost 140 centimeters). The thickness of such a display is less than one millimeter! However, you need to install a monitor on a magnetic mount, which the flexible display as if glued wallpaper.



Other manufacturers are also trying to keep up with the Koreans, and are working on their versions of flexible screens. So in a few years is expected to enter the market of soft smartphones and tablets. Naturally, the first such gadgets are quite expensive and niche products. But if they are comfortable to use and they will be strong demand, then in five years we can expect the emergence of such low-end devices.



It's amazing what heights humanity has managed to achieve! I think that in a few years, permanently flexible displays will be included in our daily lives. And what is your opinion about this technology? Can you discuss the prospects for the introduction of soft screens with their friends, after sharing with them this record.
