Samsung’s latest Unpacked event took place on August 11, 2021, but new products are always under development, like this Flex In & Out concept, which was showcased at the Korea Display Exhibition (IMID 2021). Simply put, it’s a flexible display that can be folded twice into an “S” shape, perfect for a flagship smartphone. When fully unfolded, it could also be used as a secondary display for a laptop.



How do flexible OLEDs work? Well, standard OLEDs are manufactured on a glass substrate, but by replacing that material with flexible plastic, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the screens can be made both bendable as well as lightweight. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on when or if Samsung will turn the Flex In & Out concept into an actual product.
