News & Reviews:   LG foldable display

At the recent CES 2023, LG Display announced that their 8-inch 360 degree Foldable OLED can fold and unfold both ways. While this form factor reminds us of the first Huawei Mate X which had a foldable display on the outside, this new LG Foldable display could mean a tablet that could become a laptop, a tablet and a phone using a single foldable display.

LG is one of the few other major manufacturers to have come out with flexible displays such as those on the LG G Flex smartphone. According to a roadmap of it's flexible displays, we could soon see foldable and rollable displays in tablets, smartphones, cars and TVs in 2017. The roadmap also reveals that smartphones with bending or bendable displays (probably the LG G Flex 2) and smartwatches or other wearables are due in 2015. LG will be using P-OLED display technologies to create a plastic substrate for a more durable, thinner and lighter flexible display. No Malaysian release dates or pricing details were available yet, but hopefully LG increases their presence here in Malaysia a bit more before 2017 rolls around.
