i got a hazard to take a look at some of samsung presentations' new and upcoming merchandise, probable one of the highlights of my ces 2013 enjoy. there may be a piece to go through, but first up are their buzzworthy curved shows and a idea smartphone or . i spent three years in my undergrad optical and electrical engineering schooling running on curving a ccd to be used matching focal planes, and for that reason curved presentations are instantly near and dear to me as exciting subsequent steps.
samsung became displaying off a unmarried-axis curve of their demo room. first is a larger size show with a enormously small bend radius. it is a hemicylindrical display designed for signage.
next are two cellphone concepts. i have been wondering for a while what curved (now not necessarily bendy) displays might permit or appear like for a telephone, and samsung's principles are genuinely pretty modern looking. the 2 standards have a bend on the horizontal or vertical axis — a bend on the right aspect, or backside. then a flip cowl covers the planar phase of the show even as leaving the curved section uncovered. this ostensibly allows glanceable information, notifications, and messages to be displayed with out requiring a consumer to flip open the entire smartphone, and with amoled this section can be lit up without having to light up the entire display for saving a few electricity.
the bend radius on those two isn't always very severe but seems like it may be a compelling instance use case for a phone layout. i do not expect either of these designs to return to marketplace at once, but it's absolutely something on samsung's mind for future products. the entire contact layer and show glass is curved with the show under.
