Samsung Electronics Co
is considering introducing two new smartphone models that will feature
bendable screens, including a version that folds in half like a cosmetic
compact, people familiar with the matter said.
The devices using organic light-emitting diodes could be unveiled as
soon as early 2017, the people said, asking not to be identified because
the matter is private. That would likely give it a head start on new
Apple Inc iPhones. The second Samsung model will have a 5-inch screen
when used as a handset, that unfurls into a display that's as large as 8
inches, similar to a tablet, the people said.
Samsung,
the biggest supplier of OLED panels for mobile products, has pioneered
the development of new screen formats with its multi-sided Edge
smartphones. Using advanced display technology may help the company
recapture customers from Apple and boost earnings that have slumped for
the past two years.
"This product could be a game-changer if Samsung successfully comes up
with a user interface suitable for bendable screens," said Lee Seung
Woo, an analyst at IBK Securities Co in Seoul. Click Here
