Samsung names flexible AMOLED display YOUM, and may soon come to market

Samsung has officially named their flexible AMOLED technology "Youm", and both the name and logo has been sent for trademark registration in the United States. This may mean that devices incorporating Youm could soon go on retail. Youm is Samsungs next generation ultra-thin screen with the unique characteristic of being able to be bent; the company termed it as unbreakable.

The flexibile AMOLED technology was showcased at CES last year, and at that time, we saw a 4.5-inch screen with a thinness of 0.3mm and resolution of 800x480 (WVGA). Samsung has demonstrated the concept by using it for ebook reading, camera, video chat and even to the extend of augmented reality and 3D visuals on tablet PCs. Recently, many companies are conducting research and development on flexible displays, and LG was the first to go into production of the screen. Last week, Korean company CE has revealed that the company has begun mass production of the worlds first plastic electronic paper display.
