Flexible screens have been in the que for awhile now, but hitting the mainstream market running, has to be difficult. Not since Apple's Iphone have we seen a game changer hit the ground running in the middle of a technology sprint. Now leaders like Samsung are trying to follow up a tough act. At least in the sense of sticking the landing. Much like knowing that the worlds fastest man is in the Olympics, knowing that Samsung has had a viable flex screen created still has to be seen. We want to see if it can enter the market with minimal flaws and show well out of the gates.
The basis is from OLED technology or organic light emitting diode displays. This is a fun technology that you should look up on Youtube here. it will soon allow for a whole new ability to interact with technology and live with it. It seems to me that technology is morphing closer and closer into a life form, merging with our need for it to be one with us, no matter if we consciously want that and all of its scarey implications or not. It is simply the direction we are heading and the inertia is not going to be impeded upon by human conscious-it will only gain speed with human desire.
Bringing this new technology to the surface via smartphones will be smart way of going, at some point I wonder when we are going to find ourselves not just embracing fun new technologies, but also being faced with moral crisis that are tied to it. For now Samsung is bringing out a fun new concept to a key feature of our tech world a flexible display, but we are not far from human integrated technologies that are invasive.
