What is a Youm display?
What is a Youm display?
Samsung today showed off a new flexible display technology called Youm. During the company’s keynote address at CES in Las Vegas, company executives talked up Youm, which is designed to bring out better colors and contrast, with a superthin form factor. It uses OLED display technology.
Are OLED displays flexible?
OLEDs are already being used in smartphones, laptops, wearables, tablets and TVs, and many of OLEDs are flexible ones. A plastic-based OLED has several advantages especially in mobile devices – the displays are lighter, thinner and more durable compared to glass based displays.
What is flexible CRT displays?
A new method of patterning nanotubes could lead to flexible, flat-screen displays with many of the advantages of bulky CRTs.
How do flexible phone screens work?
Foldable gadgets rely on flexible OLED, a display technology that is much thinner than traditional screen panels. The flexible displays of foldables are generally covered by a plastic layer, which can be scratched up or penetrated more easily than the tough glass protecting traditional phone displays.
Who invented flexible display?
Nicholas K. Sheridon
The concept of developing a flexible display was first put forth by Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Company). In 1974, Nicholas K. Sheridon, a PARC employee, made a major breakthrough in flexible display technology and produced the first flexible e-paper display.
How does Flexible OLED display work?
The premise of flexible OLEDs is simple: instead of using an inorganic semiconductor on a rigid substrate to emit light, an organic material (such as a phosphorescent dye or conductive polymer) is instead fabricated on a flexible plastic substrate using inkjet or screen printing.
What is the difference between hard and soft OLED?
Soft OLEDs are made of a flexible plastic substrate, which is why they last longer than Hard OLEDs. They are much more resistant to impact. Soft OLEDs also fit better into the frame of an iPhone X than Hard OLEDs.
Why OLED is flexible?
The plastic, organic layers of an OLED are thinner, lighter and more flexible than the crystalline layers in an LED or LCD. Because the light-emitting layers of an OLED are lighter, the substrate of an OLED can be flexible instead of rigid. OLED substrates can be plastic rather than the glass used for LEDs and LCDs.
How is flexible OLED made?
In contrast, flexible OLED devices can be fabricated by deposition of the organic layer onto the substrate using a method derived from inkjet printing, allowing the inexpensive and roll-to-roll fabrication of printed electronics.
Why is OLED flexible?
Because the light-emitting layers of an OLED are lighter, the substrate of an OLED can be flexible instead of rigid. OLED substrates can be plastic rather than the glass used for LEDs and LCDs. Also, LEDs and LCDs require glass for support, and glass absorbs some light. OLEDs do not require glass.
Who invented the flexible OLED screen?
Steven Van Slyke and Ching Wan Tang pioneered the organic light emitting diode, or OLED, an advance in flat-screen displays found in computers, cell phones, and televisions that provides increased power efficiency, longer battery life, and improved display quality.
What are the benefits of OLED display?
An OLED display have the following advantages over an LCD display:
- Improved image quality – better contrast, higher brightness, fuller viewing angle, a wider color range and much faster refresh rates.
- Lower power consumption.
- Simpler design that enables ultra-thin, flexible, foldable and transparent displays.
