Samsung Display shows a foldable and sliding mobile screen next to QD-OLED panels for gaming monitors

CES may be the world’s largest trade show dedicated to consumer technology, but the innovations that Samsung introduces every year at the Las Vegas show are so numerous that they force the company to spread them out at several different events. Because there is room for everything, but the opposite would be inviting chaos. That is why its screen design and manufacturing division, Samsung Display, has decided to show its own advances separately, with proposals that this year range from folding mobiles to large-format QD-OLED panels.

Perhaps the most notable product of this edition is the Flex Hybrid prototype. Still without many official details, this flexible screen stands out not only for being able to fold, but also because it slides out like the prototype that it recently exhibited with Intel. Open, it’s 10.5 inches in size and has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which becomes 12.4 inches and 16:10 when the sliding half is stretched out.

Samsung’s Flex Hybrid screen could well be used by folding phones with the ability to transform, now, into true full-fledged tablets once opened.

Alongside this prototype, Samsung Display is also showing off a Flex Slidable Duet display at CES that slides to both sides and can grow from 13-14 inches to 17.3 inches. In this case the design lacks a hinge and does not appear to fold in half.

Finally, Samsung has also unveiled a generic version of the 49-inch QD-OLED panel used by the new monitor. gaming Odyssey OLED G9. Ready for integration by other manufacturers, it provides Quad-HD resolution with 1800R curvature. Products based on this solution have not yet been announced, but companies like Dell will no doubt already be considering its integration.
