Samsung and LG to begin mass producing flexible screens this November


lg_flexible_display
Both Samsung and LG have shown off flexible displays for mobile phones, and we’ve been patientlywaiting to see them in actual devices for some time. Good news as they are now both finally capable of mass producing flexible screens and will reportedly begin to manufacture them this November. It’s new technology, though, so the actual yield from production isn’t going to be extremely high. Estimates have Samsung being able to product 1.5 to 1.6 million displays per month with an actual yield of about 1 million. LG’s production is rumored to be a bit lower.
Because of the lower production quantities of these screens, I wouldn’t expect them to be used in the Galaxy Note 3 or any flagship LG has planned. I could be wrong, but I bet we’ll start to see them hit consumer devices sometime early next year.
