Hammering a flexible screen

When I show the Microsoft 2019 video I often get asked how realistic some of the technology is – in particular things like the digital newspaper that is shown. Well, they’re not as far away as you may think and whilst some of the examples in that video use microprojectors rather than screens, Samsung has flexible OLED displays on the way.

In order to demonstrate just how flexible this video shows these OLED screens taking a pounding – literally. An LCD cracks instantly when you hit it with a hammer but check out what happens with the flexible OLED. Nothing. It just keeps playing the video like nothing happened.

Amazing.
