LG is making bendable and unbreakable OLED display, for useless curved smartphone

2013-10-07 19:25:41| Extremetech

LG has confirmed that it has begun mass production of a flexible, 6-inch OLED display for smartphones. According to LG, these displays are both bendable and unbreakable (if LG would like to send us a prototype so that we can test the latter claim, that'd be lovely). LG's flexible OLED display will apparently hit the market inside the "G Flex," a 6-inch curved-screen smartphone that's expected to be announced in November.

Despite an additional year of trying to get Windows RT right, the ARM version of Windows 8.1 remains sluggish on the Surface RT -- and by association, any other Windows RT tablet powered by the Tegra 3 SoC. Despite its status as a vestigial stump, the Desktop remains -- and you still can't run anything other than a handful of Microsoft-approved Desktop apps. Some changes, such as the ability to side-by-side apps and the beefed up Metro Control Panel, make Windows RT more usable -- but in reality, these updates are meaningless until some updated, faster hardware arrives.
