Rollable OLED displays are highly exciting, as theoretically this technology could enable devices that have similar function to the current crop of foldable OLED phones (i.e. small displays that open up to larger ones) - but enable new design for devices that could be thinner and more desirable.
In this article we'll discuss why rollable OLEDs are more challenging to produce compared to foldable ones, look into the current status of the rollable OLED industry, update on Samsung Display's and Visionox's first rollable OLEDs, and speculate on the future of this technology - and what would it mean to the industry and to supply chain companies.
Rollable OLEDs - why are they so challenging?
Foldable OLEDs have been realized years ago, and some people believed that the move to rollable screens will be relatively easy - the folding radius of foldable displays can be smaller than that of a rollable ones - if you take a piece of paper and fold it, the damage to the paper is more severe than the damage you inflict when you roll it!
