OLED is a new display
technology. Using light-emitting organic materials, beautiful and efficient
displays can be created. OLEDs are very thin, and in fact can be put on
flexible materials (plastic or metal foil). So it's possible to make bendable,
flexible displays. Because these displays will not be covered with glass,
they'll also be more durable - and virtually shatter-proof.
Flexible OLEDs are still
in the R&D phase - and there aren't any products on the market yet. Samsung
and LG Display seems to be the closest to commercialization. Samsung seems to
be leading flexible OLED commercialization - they launched their YOUM flexible OLED panels in January 2013, showing some cool prototypes of curved and flexible
OLED displays.
There are several
companies working towards commercializing flexible OLEDs. Several display
makers (not just Samsung and LG that we mentioned before, but also AUO, Sony,
Toshiba and others) have already unveiled prototypes. There are many other
supply-chain companies and universities that are doing active research towards
these kinds of displays.
