LG has confirmed that they will start mass production of flexible displays for Q4 of 2013. In a newspaper report, the company said that they will be making OLED displays that support ultra-high definitions (like the curved 4K display LG showed off at CES 2013). These panels will be produced at their Paju factory in Korea.
"We will apply a 4.5th generation glass-cutting technology for the OLED flexible displays. Monthly capacity for the line was set as 12,000 sheets."
LG's Electronics division will then take up these flexible displays and produce a smartphone with them, planned for the end of 2013. However, LG have no plans to make this exclusive as they intend to sell the flexible screens to other phone makers. They also confimed that they would be working on consumer TVs with flexible UHD screens with further plans to expand from 65 inch panels to 77 inches.
