LG's making curved, 'bendable and unbreakable' smartphone displays Oct 7th 2013, 14:34, by Jared Newman Not to be outdone by Samsung, LG says it's ready to mass produce its first flexible OLED display panel for smartphones. LG claims that its flexible panel is "vertically concave from top to bottom," curving on a 700 mm radius. In other words, it would only form a full circle if the screen was about 14.5 feet long. For a six-inch display, that translates to about 0.16 inches of concavity at the top of the arc. The panel is also among the world's slimmest and lightest, LG claims, measuring 0.44 mm thick and weighing 7.6 grams with a 6-inch panel. LG hasn't said when the mass-produced panels will start appearing in smartphones, but Reuters reports that LG will launch its own curved display smartphone in November. The phone may be known as the G Flex, and would have a 6-inch display according to CNET, but no other details are available.
