The AMOLED Display from Samsung, A Super Thin Flexible Display Screen

Samsung has been working on a super-thin transparent and flexible display technology called the AMOLED which stands for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. This display technology is so durable that the screen can survive any deformations making it rollable, bendable and can even withstand impacts from a hammer. Organic compounds are used in this technology to form the luminous material that lights up the thin film, while the systematic addressing of the pixels on the screen is made possible by the active matrix technology. Although Samsung is yet considering the potential application for this display technology, they are seeing endless application possibilities that will benefit from this technology in the near future. The video demonstrates screen models for smartphones while another video shows transparent see-through screen application models.
