At CES 2023 Samsung is showing the Flex Hybrid OLED mobile screen, which combines both foldable and slidable functionalities into one display. The company is also presenting large-screen 'slidables', which the company sees as a prototype of future laptops.
In Las Vegas, the company is showcasing a prototype mobile device called Flex Hybrid. Foldable technology is applied to the left side of the screen, with slidable technology on the right side of the device. Users can watch videos on the 10.5-inch display in 4:3 aspect ratio or expand the display to a 12.4-inch larger screen in 16:10.
In addition, a 17-inch large-screen slidable display, which was previewed at Intel's Innovation event in September, will make its first public appearance at CES. The slidable display has two concepts, Flex Slidable Solo, which can expand the screen in one direction and Flex Slidable Duet, which expands the display in both directions. The display is portable at only 13-14 inches but can be expanded to 17.3 inches for multitasking purposes, playing games, or watching movies.
Samsung Display also is unveiling for the first time a product for automobiles, New Digital Cockpit, targeting the self-driving vehicle market. This product is a display designed for automotive digital cockpits combining a 34-inch display with a 15.6-inch display. The large screen can be used as a display for entertainment in autonomous driving mode. The 700R curvature of the cockpit display delivers the optimal viewing experience in driving mode, which helps the driver focus on the road.
