From Samsung Mobile Display documentation have information on the production of new AMOLED panels in 2012 the Korean company, including those that are used in flexible displays. A first important detail is that the plant dedicated to make AMOLED panels from 8.9 to 10.1 inches, will be operational in early 2012. This samsung 50 3d-tv-paket means that the tablets will soon begin to make AMOLED panels, perhaps by mid 2012. Next year there will be two plants manufactured flexible OLED, a first to be operational between the second and third trimesters, and a second will in the third quarter. When will a real product, we can not achieve it, but the steps are given and it seems increasingly closer. There are also details about the advent of technology OLED TVs, and are expected to have a competitive price in 2013. This Samsung offers two production lines operational in 2012. In the first quarter there will be producing 55-inch screens. We also like to know about costs of different screens to get an idea of how to affect the final price, for example. A 4.3-inch screen with Super AMOLED Plus technology, such as the Samsung S2 Galaxy is between 50 and 55 dollars. If we go to a 3.7-inch LCD panel, the display costs 38.5 dollars. In the case of tablets the value rises considerably: 7.7 inches AMOLED panel of the Galaxy Tab 7.7, costs between $ 150 and $ 170, and a 9.7-inch AMOLED screen, 250 to $ 290.

OLED that is.? like 3d? as we slipped rehostia HD .. so if that was a breakthrough for entertainment. I Also, do not quite know how to work a flexible touch screen: it would bend to use it? Does not want to bend you would use? Should I go locking / unlocking every time you want to distort the screen?. not have to wait to 2020, but a few years so that they get smaller TV because my room does not fit a 55 or joke and then clear the sear very high price, but have to be a lot of the OLED. It is a very powerful technology, soon we difrutar the film not only surround sound but also with surround image. All very cool and futuristic, but .. What about components? While all the internal circuitry remains hard to see these screens an invention with little consequence. It is clear from the video that all internal components are stacked below the screen. Flexible displays are not only used to make screens that can roll, but also to make but rigid curved screens for windows, car windscreens, etc.. Or this, which are transparent sheets printed circuit boards that are so small they can barely see, so you can make glass with LEDs in the middle and work (as they have in the Telenoticias TV3). Following this ratio (the 4.3 "$ 52.5, that of 7.7" for $ 160 and 9.7 "for $ 270) could be extrapolated following a parabolic function and give us a screen 55 "AMOLED cost of around $ 12,039, or one of 32" $ 3842 … For example, in this video are flexible displays. You can put it on a rigid support (due to the circuitry or simply by design) or not . But the screen is the same. No, sir, one thing is that a flexible display is adapted to a rigid support and a molded a screen (rigid but with a different form) is flexible. On what Samsung is mainly working on what first, as you say that if you can use the latter but not vice versa. A screen will cast manufacturing process and a package adapted to that shape. Its elements suffer no mechanical stress in everyday use. The technology for making flexible displays, today, is only the OLED. What you comets corresponds to the substrate material, not the screen itself. Precisely what good is that OLEDs can be printed on virtually any substrate. Another thing encapsulation is also different, which is where having problems. But in any case we are talking about OLED displays: on a rigid substrate (where ITO and glass can be used) or a flexible substrate (where substrate must be flexible and encapsulation too). Speaking of polymers, rather than speaking of creep fatigue, and you have to take into account the strain hardening and internal tensions produced by the manufacturing process itself or by thermal changes, in addition to damages that may be by water and moisture. But all this belongs, as I say, to the substrate and encapsulated, not the OLED itself. The distinction is fine when it comes to devices and appliances, but speaking of screens do not see much sense. Thanks to expand Ragnor comment is not my aim to raise the debate to Materials Science. Fatigue is a universal concept that can be applied to different materials and is manifested by their nature. Just wanted to note that technology is effectively the same, at least as far as I know. In fact, it is curious that all the flexible display technology is exactly the same as the current OLED, and the only problem they have to be viable is the encapsulation. This also goes for that then a marketing department does not come to tell us this is a revolutionary new technology. In fact, it may seem it is more a work of semiconductors, is purely for selecting materials for encapsulation and substrate. As a last contribution off the subject: on fatigue yes and no: the concept so ingrained that we almost exclusive fatigue of metals, polymers play many other factors such as creep, ceramic and they say they do not suffer fatigue. And unless you try to amortize research expenditure in the first wave of screens, one of two, or those prices are wrong, or misled us when we first said that the panels were cheaper OLED spent less etc etc. Match the price of a product at the price of the manufacturing income margin distribution is a mistake. It is much more complex and involve many factors. What you pay for a product to buy is a function of its manufacturing and distribution, but also its design, research, after sales service, leasing of offices, recycling post, regulations, etc.. So when a product is out just so expensive. It is only because the manufacturing is expensive, but because you have to repay the full cost of research and development, buying molds and machinery, and so on. The company may want to repay it within a year and put a high price, or risk and pretend recovered in 10, so the price may be lower. Yes, the cost of machinery to build these panels is lower than for LCD panels, but keep in mind that this equipment and these facilities cost money and not because LCD panels are already built. For very steep curve that is the amortization of such equipment and facilities is a large initial investment that impact on the price. If sales accompanying a couple of years is an impressive drop in the price both of the component in the final product. I think it's funny when these displays the selling of imitation in the Chinese corner. The same with ebooks that nothing worth 300 euros and in no time we'll have them there by 40. Of course, thinking and helps one to learn to wait and not run to line the first day Mediamarkt selling these expensive new technologies. leading brands are very well studied those who make these queues, and they know they will pay a Paxton to be the first. They put a bait on the hook and you bite people so happy. someone may explain the advantages would flexible displays?? if the case is not flexible do not see any use not? Nose unless they give more resistance to shock .. Nose … I see no useful right now but I think in a couple of years or even in 2012 this may give a new push in the industry, not as I would use this, but to be seen already in service when such work. You can turn?? like a plane? haha .. would be very useful for working on large construction plans need to explain to work but able to be folded to carry in your folder. Although still will not think I can give a copy constructor .. haha. other applications could have this type of display? addition to be applied to surfaces such as bottles and other round or the wrist of a patient .. there is another interesting application?.
