Samsung Introduces OLED Prototype to the Business Side of a Hammer

Display technology seems to be reading for some pretty amazing leaps if the flexible display prototypes from Hewlett-Packard, Philips and Samsung pan out. Besides being incredibly thin, these displays can be bent, stretched, even folded. But just how durable are they?

In an interesting twist on the game whack-a-mole, a video posted by luxury1004 on YouTube suggests pretty darn durable. The video shows a hammer being taken to a Samsung AMOLED display. The 2.8-inch, 20 micrometer thin display, playing a clip from Gran Turismo 5, comes out unscathed.

The LCD screen that got smashed looks like it came from a DS fat.  I have replaced a broken DS and DS lite screen before and both of those screens broke because of huge cracks.  Flexible OLEDs can open up a lot of new ideas for gadgets.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the next ds have dual OLED screens with touch capicitors and resistive technology so that the touchscreens can work with fingers and a stylus.

I think that what you say is not far off. A couple of years it will
become the norm. The development of electronics is leaps and bounds:)
