Quad-bended flexible AMOLED display wins SID award
This year’s honorees – along with the Best-in-Show and I-Zone winners – will be recognized on Wednesday, May 24, at the Los Angeles Convention Center during Display Week 2017, which runs from May 21-26.
The South Korean display manufacturer integrate flexible display products into its smartphone designs since 2013, including a curved AMOLED and a bended AMOLED which reaped the SID Displays of the Year awards in 2013 and 2015, respectively.
Last year, Samsung Display introduced the Quad-bended AMOLED Display, which uses industry-first “quad edge” flexible technology on the sides as well as the top and bottom of the display. Used in the Galaxy S7 Edge smartphone, the quad-HD display uses special curved technology that varies the radius for the curvature of the OLED panel at the left and right edges from 35R to 3.8R, enabling very fine contours, a natural curve appearance, and enhanced grip comfort.
The new display’s circuit plan also greatly reduces dead space around the display edges to just 1.09mm a record for Samsung Display.
