Samsung's new technology will make folding solutions cheaper and more effective

Samsung, being a pioneer and leader in the foldable smartphone segment, continues to improve their technology

production to reduce the cost and, as a result, the final price tags for the consumer.According to the South Korean publication The Elec, the company has developed a new method for laminating flexible OLED panels, which will allowNot only to reduce the cost of this stage tenfold (!), but also to make the panels thinner.In addition, with its help, it will allegedly be possible to achieve "zero frames" along the contour of the screen, which will have a great effect on the visual appeal of smartphones.

The technology lies in the transition to inkjetapplication of liquid transparent adhesive instead of the time-consuming gluing of several layers of pre-cut transparent adhesive tape. The issue of material flow on curved surfaces appears to have been successfully resolved and Samsung has now reportedly placed an order for inkjet printing equipment. It is quite possible that the first solutions based on the new technology will be the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5.
