In Samsung is reported to have developed a flexible AMOLED display, which can be rolled up or bent and is virtually unbreakable. It can withstand the blows of a hammer. The bendable AMOLED display technology will feature in the new line of Galaxy Skin smartphones, which will be capable of being shaped around a cylinder just 1 inch in diameter.
The phone can be configured as a wristwatch, mouse, clock or dashboard GPS. According to reports, the phone developed by Prof Haeseong Jee and Jye Yeon You, uses Grapheme, which is considered to be the strongest material in the world. Research done by scientists from Columbia University has established that graphene is the strongest material in the world, some 200 times stronger than structural steel.
Along with being flexible and unbreakable, the AMOLED dismay will also be brighter than normal screen and it will consume less amount of energy.
When it goes to sale in early 2012, the Galaxy Skin will most likely offer a high-resolution 800480 pixel screen, 8 megapixel camera and 1Gb of RAM as well as a 1.2GHz processor. Samsung has not yet disclosed the devices operating system, but there are consistent rumours about Jelly Bean Googles next Android release after Ice Cream Sandwich or a new release called Android Flexy.
Samsung has teamed up with a Japanese company, Ube Kosan, which is expected to play an important role in the production of the flexible AMOLED displays to be used in Samsung Galaxy Skin.
