Flexible smartphones are here and we mean flexible!!!

Samsung Display -- a recent spinoff from the Korean giant -- has let it be known that it'll demo a 5.5-inch flexible 720p display at this year's tech mecca. Keep this in mind, though: what we'll see is merely a component that could one day find its way into a smartphone, rather than a finished product that's meant for consumers. Samsung Display also wants to ground your expectations that while its screens bend without breaking, they're not designed to roll up. Nonetheless, we're looking forward to getting our grubby mitts all over 'em as we dream of what might be.
Samsung has shown off its new flexible display technology for smartphones at CES 2013 called Youm.
The Korean firm used its CES keynote in Las Vegas to introduce the Youm OLED display technology which will be used in smartphones. Products which use the technology will be bendable, foldable and rollable – as shown by Stephen Woo, president of Samsung and Brian Berkeley, senior vice president of Samsung Display, according to CNET. Samsung said the super thin form factor is made from plastic rather than glass and is designed to provide better contrast and colours. The screen’s flexible nature will make it durable and virtually unbreakable.PC Advisor.Engadget.
