• Creators Samsung works on a new application so that users can self-repair their devices

The foldable smartphones that have hit the market in recent years have managed to bring a large screen, roughly the size of a tablet, into a device with the

dimensions of a mobile.

Now, the next step is to make those screens even bigger.

Samsung has done just that with a new display called the

Flex Hybrid

that it will show for the first time this week at CES in Las Vegas.

It is a folding screen like the one you already use in mobile phones like the

Galaxy Fold

, but in addition to unfolding it can be extended on one side a few more centimeters to reach dimensions of 12.4 inches with 16:10 proportions, the usual ones. to watch movies or series.

Completely

folded and rolled

, this screen can be integrated into a mobile with dimensions very similar to those of the aforementioned Galaxy Fold.

Along with this new concept, Samsung will also show a 17-inch screen that also has an innovative roll-up and roll-up mechanism.

Samsung announced this screen at the end of 2022 but at the fair it can be seen for the first time in operation and with two variants,

Flex Slidable

Solo, which expands in one direction, and Flex Slidable Duet, which expands on both sides of the screen.

Once folded, this 17-inch screen becomes only 13 or 14 inches diagonal in a much more landscape ratio.

They will not be the only novelties on the company's screens.

Last year the company showed off its first TVs equipped with

QD-OLED

technology , which offers higher brightness than conventional OLED panels tend to have.

This year the Korean company has managed to further improve the brightness, coming to offer up to 2,000 nits.

The technology will also reach a 77-inch screen that complements the 55 and 65-inch screens already presented.

QD-OLED will also be integrated into the company's new monitor aimed at gamers, the Odyssey OLED G9, 49-inch diagonal and ultra-wide.

The Korean company will also bring its display technology to the dashboard of cars for the first time.

New Digital Cockpit

is its prototype dashboard for autonomous driving vehicles.

It combines a curved 34-inch screen behind the steering wheel with a 15.6-inch screen in front of the passenger seat.
