News & Reviews:   Samsung display

According to a Yonhap report, Samsung Display and BOE have agreed to settle their issue out of court. So, what should you know about it?

Today, Samsung Display has officially unveiled MONT FLEX, its new foldable OLED brand, during the K-Display 2025 Exhibition in Seoul. Inspired by the French word “mont,” meaning mountain, the name reflects the company’s pursuit of peak innovation in foldable display technology.

Handheld gaming consoles have mostly been the domain of PC brands, but that's not to say we won't see bigger brands making one. In fact, it seems Samsung is at least interested in developing such a console.

Samsung has had a busy week, unveiling plenty of new tech at the SID Display Week 2023. Besides actual products like the smart monitors mentioned yesterday, the company also revealed some new display tech. One of them is the Rollable Flex.

Apart from screens that can unfold and slide-out, Samsung also showcased a Smartphone OLED that achieved more than a peak brightness of 2000nits. Verified by UL Solutions, it is the industry’s first display to reach this level of luminance performance.

On top of all the high-end monitors, Samsung says that they’ll also be showing off their Flex Hybrid display at CES 2023. Combining a foldable display that unfolds to a 10.5-inch display with a slide-out display that becomes a larger 12.4-inch screen, the device is targeted as a prototype for future laptops.

After showing off the Flex G panel at this year's CES, Samsung has finally trademarked it in its home country South Korea. It is not the only display panel presented at the event, as there's also the Flex S that can get folded two-way. However, the company had already trademarked the name earlier.

When it comes to screen panels, Samsung Display is also well known as a mass producer of LCD and OLED. However, it seems that the company is facing some difficulties in the LCD business and would be shut down in June 2022, according to reports.

When it comes to foldable devices, two main designs are popular. The first is the small tablet that folds inwards or outwards, while the other is the clamshell design. Of course, other designs like the tri-fold are being considered, and Samsung took the opportunity to show them off at CES 2022.

The latest Apple iPad mini faced some challenges at launch with various screen issues. Next year, the successor might come with a tech spec to ensure no such problems happen again. According to a report, the next iPad mini might upgrade its display to one that supports a 120Hz refresh rate.
