Samsung unveils 5" flexible LCD display

Samsung officially unveiled the new 5" plastic LCD display intended for portable devices such as mobile handsets, MP3 players, PDAs, etc.


The new displays, as said above, base on flexible substrates covered with amorphous polycrystalline silicon (a-Si) and have 512x384 (qSVGA), 100 ppi resolution. The new displays, according to the press release, were developed together with SoftPixel. This cooperation also brought to life the technology of processing amorphous thin-film transistors, color filters and liquid crystals at temperatures relatively low for coating plastic.
