CES 2013: Bendable displays are here; Samsung unveils Youm

While still conspicuous by its absence in the market, the concept of bendable or foldable displays has been piquing the interests of enthusiasts since a while now. There finally is something to chew on! At the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2013, South Korean electronics giant Samsung raised the curtains on its flexible OLED display line – Youm. On stage at the event, Brian Berkeley, Senior VP, Samsung's San Jose Display Lab, noted, "Youm doesn't just bend the rules of display technologies, it completely rewrites them." Berkeley went on to show curious attendees a prototype of the flexible OLED display, while claiming it wouldn’t break even if dropped. Berkeley added how his team had readied a prototype of high-resolution display on extremely thin plastic, instead of glass. Showing just how flexible the prototype display actually is, Berkeley bent it from side-to-side, amidst a whole round of applause.  Click here for full story
