Samsung and LG to unveil NEW flexible smartphones in October 2013.
“The newly launched curved phones will not be completely flexible,”
Samsung SDI’s CEO Park Sang-jin said last Wednesday. However, he added,
“We have developed the technology to make batteries a little curved and
to fix them after being curved.”
Samsung Display is reported to use a 5.5-generation (1300x1500mm) line
at the OLED plant in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, and LG Display is
to operate a 4.5-generation (730x920mm) line in Paju, Gyeonggi
Province.
“Within this year, Samsung and LG will have a monthly
production capacity of 1.5 million and 35,000 flexible panels,
respectively,” a source said.
Samsung and LG’s new smartphones, which will reportedly be unveiled next
month, are said to be plastic-based, light and unbreakable. Since the
technology is still in its nascent stage, users will not be able to
change the shape.
It will take a few more years for flexible displays to be able to fully
take different forms and to be rolled up like paper, a source said.
Samsung Group Plans to Mass Produce Flexible Mobile-Device Screens.
For several years, Samsung has been flirting with the idea of incorporating flexible displays in its line of mobile phones, but so far it was only experimental prototypes that could be seen in technology fairs.
According to the North American newspaper The Wall Street Journal, the South Korean company is getting ready to take the next step to begin mass production of this type of display for their smartphones.
The displays use OLED technology already present in other equipment produced by the company. Unlike conventional screens, which are made of glass, are made of flexible plastic, which will provide the devices that use a shock resistance and falls never before seen in a mobile phone.
According to the publication, the screens will be ready in the first half of 2013, although there is still no assurance that they will be available commercially in a particular product.
However, some specialists believe that this technology will likely be used in the successor of Galaxy SIII, one of the high-end smartphone market popular.
In addition, the novelty come at the right time, since at present the market is saturated with products that have similar characteristics, deducted a flexible screen phone with Samsung would give the impetus to win the battle against Apple and its iPhone .
Trends
2013: Products with flexible/unfold displays: small batteries with more power.
Who will be the first to launch?
If you
think you already bought the latest technology in this year 2012 and even in
the remainder of the year, you are wrong, you will see more of what is now, in
2013, and with different technologies in their devices.
Products
coming up in this 2012:
Although
there are new products to emerge as the Microsoft Surface Tablet with this
interesting keyboard 3m.m thick, the HP Slate Pro 8 with Windows 8, the new
Samsung Galaxy Note 2, new Nokia Lumia with Windows Phone 8, iPhone 5 with
wider screen and the iPad Mini, the new version of Amazon Kindle Fire, which
will be interesting, is not anything new to emerge that would be in the queue of
the manufacturing line of the big global brands such as HP, Samsung, Apple ,
Nokia, Microsoft.
While there
are many other brands like Sony, HTC, LG, Asustek, Make, ZTE, Huawei and Archos
making good products and some underarm will be announced, but will not make a
significant impact in the remainder of this year 2012.
The Trend
for 2013: Products with flexible/unfold displays . Small batteries more
powerful.
Many tests
have been made of the intelligent flexible sheet, with evidence strength and resistance to hammering and
without receiving a scratch, which are already on the way to being the new
mobiles 2013, both smartphones and tablets and I daresay in smart TVs.
We will
have then much thinner devices that actuals and will and allow more easily incorporate
other hard to these, giving new and more power in their batteries. Batteries
most likely will also evolve to smaller, but more energy storage capacity.
Among the
companies most likely to launch this new product line flexible and deployable
are HP, Samsung, Sony and LG.
We believe
that operating systems of each of these manufacturers are at a point of
similarity, with minor differences. Such as HP webOS Open Source 1.0, Google
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, iOS6 Apple and Microsoft Windows Phone 8, and RIM
Blackberry 10.
Multicore
Processors for Mobile.
In-Stat,
said that by 2013, nearly 88 percent of the processors sold in the segment of
mobile phone market will be multi-core.
There is a
recognition that the network behind the device also has to be fast.
"We
had to tell them what they could do with 4G, and that made it more real to
people. So not only can you talk about speeds and feeds or fast processors, but
what are the applications they use."
Ed
Hansberry writes that we have not seen anything yet, as Qualcomm and Texas
Instruments are both working on multi-core processors for mobile phones. What I
find most interesting in Ed's excellent article is that the reason for the
shift to multi-core may be to prolong the battery life rather than increasing
processing power. Multi-core chips have less circuits, making them more energy
efficient, and the operating system can be optimized to convert one of the
cores turned off when not needed.
Multitouch,
Touchless, Voice Command and gestures.
With the
new era of interacting with your device Samsung Smart TV and Kinect Microsoft`s Xbox 360 are the pioneers in this field.
Increasingly
use this technology without touching your mobile device with voice command and
will be integrated with the new flexible/unfold displays of 2013.
Applications.
-
Like
everything now thanks to the Internet is revolutionizing applications Enyo HTLM
5 via any web browser, the race for who has more native applications chained to
the primary operating system will be reduced.
The
developer community to build applications must take faster processor speeds.
Concept made by an independent designer and not of SONY, the screen phone opens, becoming a tablet, what is interesting is that he put a date May 19, 2013 on the device, giving us to understand their perception of the possibility that these mobiles could be available for that date:
The Samsung Flexible displays for phones is real. Thw world was waiting for a launch these devices for 2012, but we think they left them for 2013.
