In the wake of rumors about a limited edition Samsung Galaxy Note 3 featuring a flexible display, Samsung’s mobile business head of strategic marketing, D.J. Lee, has confirmed that the South Korean manufacturer plans to release a smartphone with a curved display but according to Reuters it will only launch in South Korea.
Samsung showed off its flexible Youm display technology at this year’s CES in January. The Youm display could form an arch or simply be curved at the edges and wrap around the edges of the device, enabling the screen to be viewed, at least partially, from its side.
However, flexible displays are not likely to appear on Samsung mobiles in the short term: the smartphone planned for release next month will carry curved, but not flexible, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels for the display, according to Yonhap.
Nokia has also been experimenting with curved display technology, while LG also plans to mass produce tough new flexible displays by the end of the year.
