You can not speculate exactly when the first devices will be marketed based on this technology.

However, players will see the first implementations, as expected, smartphones and tablet even if the technology also lends itself to various other uses. In the past there has been talk, for example, watches and many other gadgets that might benefit from the presence of flexible displays. Recall that, to succeed in his enterprise, Samsung Mobile Display has created a joint venture with Ube Kosan, a Japanese company that will provide the necessary materials for flexible displays.

At CES 2011, Samsung showed prototypes cabinet with flexible screens 4.5 inch (800 x 480 pixels) compatible operating systems, Android and Windows Phone 7. A first test of courage comes also from the implementation of the technology on display Contour Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus S produced from Korean giant.
