How future phone displays will look like? Have you ever thought about it? We have a few suggestions how the phone display could look like in 5 or 10 years. Let’s read on to find out…

Flexible Phone Screens

The development of technologies for mobile phones has been very fast since the 1990s. The first smartphone displays were monochrome with extremely low resolution, which means: black and white display with pixelated font. The developments were followed quickly by graphic and later also color displays. Nowadays, smartphones and tablets can be operated almost exclusively via a touch display. But what can we expect from future phone displays? What are the advantages of them?

Rumors about smartphones with flexible displays have been swirling around for a while now. Even electronic giants like Samsung, Lenovo, LG or Xiaomi are working on it. That would really revolutionize the whole mobile device world but manufacturers are still struggling to get this technology cheap and reliable enough for the mass market. So far, there are just prototypes. Imagine, you can bend your phone without breaking or even fold up your device like a make-up mirror to make it more compact.

Holographic phone displays

There is a famous scene in Star Wars, where Princess Leia communicates via holographic video messages. In the near future, smartphones and other mobile devices could offer similar features. Perhaps, we will able to take holographic pictures or even watch holographic movies on our phone. That would be a completely new way entertain smartphone users! We are looking forward to a holographic display and hope it will be launched soon!

Solar-powered screens

Smartphones have made huge advances in performance, display size, and resolution over the last few years, which unfortunately have not kept pace with the development of battery technology. Also, there is a trend that devices should become flatter and lighter. Users who use their smartphone all the day are forced to recharge their phone many times a day. There’s an end of it: Engineers and experts are already working on the development of solar cells, which can be integrated into the display panels of smartphones and tablets. So, you can enjoy the sun and recharge your phone at the same time. How cool is that?

Future Phone Displays – What to expect

As you can see, there are a lot of suggestions and we are positive that future phones will be slim and light as possible. But it is difficult to say, when the cool displays will be built in conventional smartphones. Surely, there are already plans and prototypes of phones with those special displays. However, unfortunately they are not fully developed. Let’s wait and see!

By the end of 2019, 20% of the phones market share might go to the foldable devices. Kang expects that between 3 and 5 companies will start mass producing foldable phones in 2018. 

20% of the Market for foldable smartphones!

These companies to produce the foldable devices might hold the 20% of the smartphones market share. The Kolon Group which is known as one of the only company in the entire world to produce colorless polyimide said that it is supplying materials to a various manufacturer. It also said that it was supplying it to Samsung and LG, but they did not mention anything about what these materials were going to be used for. Kolon Industries’ head Kang Chung-seok believes the foldable displays will make headway in South Korea.

Here is a what it also said: “there are 3 to 5 technology companies that are expected to mass produce foldable phones in 2018 worldwide”.  Companies like Samsung, LG, Xiaomi and even Apple are all moving from the LCD to OLED. the reason for this shift of screen model is that the OLED can easily be flexible and can be curved, foldable and also rollable. This is what makes the difference between the liquid-crystal displays (LCD) and organic light-emitting diode displays (OLED).

Kang also said that he really believe that the early foldable smartphone might launch in 2017, probably by the Korean giant (Samsung). In case if you’re wondering, a bend radius is simply the minimum radius something can be bent without causing damage to it. Therefore, a smaller radius means that a certain material is more flexible: obviously, a very important consideration when talking about folding smartphones. “Tech companies are likely to unveil the bend radius of 5 millimeters first and then gradually unveil devices with less bend radius.”

Foldable phones could take 20% of market share

Kolon Industries began producing the flexible colorless polyimide just this August and has plans to mass produce the film for 100 million units of foldable devices by 2018. Do you think this is a great advancement in the smartphones industry? drop your comment below.

Recent reports have suggested that patents for the foldable iPhone was filed since 2014. Samsung is the company with a higher privilege to register for such designs.

Design and Features

It is believed that Tim Cook is also interested in such an innovation for the company Apple. The CEO will love to see a foldable iPhone with a flexible OLED screen. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted the patent no. 9,504,170 for “flexible display devices”, which details a design for a hinged iPhone that can fold in two when not in use. The device would rely on flexible components such as an OLED display, metal support tools made of a nickel and titanium alloy called nitinol.

Apple also discussed the flexible polymers as a possible alternative to the nitinol design, with some versions of the phone coming with a chassis split into upper and lower sections. These sections will be the place where the phone hardware is attached via a single or multi-shaft hinge mechanism. This will allow the rotation so that the divided parts separately can move relative to one another. There will be a flexible printed circuit boards to allow the phone to be foldable, while the display is overlaid across the two portions of the handset.

Of course, companies quickly file patents in order to protect their designs, and that’s why Apple secured the patent for its foldable iPhone. But a patent doesn’t mean that the product is going to be made and make it to market. As we previously told you, Apple is expected to introduce a new iPhone with an OLED screen in 2017. Instead of being flexible, the display of this next OLED device will be an almost all-screen design.

Apple might make a foldable iPhone?

Whether we’ll see a foldable version of the iPhone in the coming years or not, it looks like Apple has already considered the idea. Hopefully, we can see it come to reality! Are you excited about a foldable iPhone?
