BOE announced that it has developed a new crease-less (or zero-line) foldable OLED display, which it brands as BOE Glaze Fold. BOE says that the new technology reduces the crease visibility (and feel) by over 40%.
The visible crease has been one of the major foldable OLED adoption hurdles. Earlier this year Samsung Display was first to demonstrate a crease-less foldable OLED. Reportedly, SDC's technology will be utilized by Samsung in their 2026 foldable smartphone - and also by Apple in their 2026 foldable iPhone.
BOE's crease-less OLED was enabled by a multi-neutral-layer architecture design, that performs better than the standard single-neutral-layer display. Using a gradient modulus design, the new multi-layer architecture helps the stress to be spread out on several layers, and so reduces the peak stress and finally stops the deformation that quickly happens with folding displays.
