Flexible and foldable devices could be the next significant evolution in smartphone design, According to Kolon Industries, a company playing a big role in developing this technology, three to five tech companies will be mass-producing flexible devices by 2018. They could prove popular by 2019 and grab a chunky 20% share on the Korean smartphone market.
You may haven’t heard of Kolon Industries, but this is the world’s only company with the means to mass-produce the colorless polyimide needed for the flexible film that will replace displays’ rigid glass sheets. It supplies its products to companies such as Samsung and LG, which are already well-established in display manufacturing. So Kolon certainly has to be in the know!
