One of the most common damage to mobile phones today is the cracked screen – or more accurately, the broken glbad front cover. Even low level crashes can bring the appalling "Spider App" to the screen, resulting in a rather unfavorable exchange. Especially dangerous for the display glbad is when a smartphone lands on the corner in the case. Not the surface pressure, but the punctual impact on the edge ensures maximum damage to the screen. Samsung has now
announced that they could allegedly solve the problem. We are talking about OLED screens supposed to be "unbreakable", therefore unbreakable. However, these are not mere marketing statements, but Samsung has already had this concept tested by the authorities.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is subordinate to the US Department of Labor. Testing Company Underwriters Laboratories. The test was supposed to recreate the usual scenarios, including the drop from 1.20 meters in height. This is the most common case – most smartphones with a cracked screen did not fall off the table, but out of their pockets. After 26 crashes, Samsung's new screen did not show any damage to the front, to the side and to the corners. The function has not been altered – even though the height has gone from 1.2 to 1.8 meters. In addition, the testers could not cause a defect and therefore testified that Samsung had actually designed an "unbreakable" screen.
Samsung explains how this stability could be achieved. So you put on a flexible OLED screen, the panel replaces the glbad, instead, is wrapped with a special substrate. This can not burst due to the design and make sure to avoid damage from display after a fall in the field effectively. The concept is therefore particularly suitable for all portable devices – not only because of its immense stability, but also because of its very low weight. Other uses include Samsung tablets and military devices exposed to high loads. However, there is still no information on how the use will be expensive – and how fast Samsung can enter mbad production.
