First and largest transparent OLED Panel prototype. Designed for use in applications, smartphones, animated photo ID cards. Applied to tablets, with Augmented Reality apps would be a nice start.
Samsung Flexible AM OLED Technology as new design component
January 9, 2010 by George Canciani · Leave a Comment
OLEDs (organic light emitting diodes), are finally accessible, do not require a backlight to function, can display deep blacks, draw less power, and are thinner and lighter than LCD panels.
Foldable OLEDs have substrates made of very flexible metallic foils/plastics, are lightweight, durable, and their use in devices can reduce breakage issues. These flexible displays are ready to be applied to a whole new generation of imaginative applications. Another design tool for conceptual expression.
