Samsung previously stated externally that there were issues with the encapsulation technology of their flexible screens, so we wouldn't see related products this year. From the current situation, it seems LG is about to act before them.LG Display Vice President Yoon Bu-hyun told The Wall Street Journal that they have been working on flexible OLED screens for some time, and LG will launch its first flexible OLED screen phone by the end of this year (to be precise, sometime in the fourth quarter).Meanwhile, a report from The Korea Times indicated that LG would start mass production of flexible OLED screens in the second half of this year as they strive to narrow the gap with Samsung. Some analysts currently believe that LG's flexible OLED screens will suffer from low yield rates, which means that the price of relevant devices in the early stage will be very expensive.In fact, at CES 2013, Samsung showcased a prototype of a flexible OLED screen device, which looked very unique. The display area sloping downward on the right side of the phone was in landscape mode, and when users locked the main screen, they could still read messages, stock market trends, etc., through that area.Incidentally, Apple’s job listings previously also showed that they are considering using flexible displays in future products. Perhaps in 2014, we will see more smartphones with flexible screens.The flexible OLED prototype Samsung showcased at CES 2013
