References to Korean media refer to the introduction of a new Galaxy series, based on Samsung Display's innovations and the ability to produce convex and flexible panels.
Samsung seems to pay particular attention to the development of "convex" devices, since it is already planning to launch such devices until the end of the year.
Reports in Korean media talk about the presentation of a new series of Galaxy devices, which will be based on the innovations of the Samsung Display subsidiary and the ability to produce curved and flexible panels. Samsung Display has reportedly invested about $1,9 billion in the development of panels in this category and plans to introduce final productof within the year.
Οι κυρτές οθόνες αποτελούν ωστόσο ένα «βήμα πίσω» για τη Samsung, σε σχέση με τις πλήρως αναδιπλούμενες, εύκαμπτες οθόνες, αφού απλά επικαλύπτουν τα άκρα της συσκευής. Τέτοιου είδους πάνελ σε συσκευές πρωτοπαρουσιάστηκαν κατά τη διάρκεια της έκθεσης CES του 2013. Τότε είχε παρουσιαστεί το Samsung Youm, του οποίου η οθόνη επεκτεινόταν μέχρι το σημείο όπου κανονικά θα βρισκόταν το πλαίσιο της συσκευής. Σε εκείνες τις επιφάνειες μπορούσε να γίνει projection various information, such as for example written messages.
According topricemarket conditions, the Korean company seems to have preferred the conservative route of testing devices with curved screens, as the issues surrounding the development of flexible batteries for the devices with fully flexible screens should also be settled.
Devices with convex screens seem to be Samsung's first step to test the market for similar devices on the market. Analysts believe the important step will be in the second half of next year, when it is estimated that Samsung will be ready to present the first folding models, like its new flagship.
It is worth noting that Samsung proceeded to demonstrate it technology of foldable screens at a closed event during CES 2014. At the same time, the company's CEO, Kwon Oh-Hyun, had stated during Analyst Day last year that Samsung would be able to launch the first of foldable smartphones in 2015. Indicative of Samsung's intentions is the video it released with the eloquent title "Display Centric World".
