Samsung executives attended the SID Review event held in the Yeoksam-dong business district in Seoul, South Korea yesterday, reviewed the difficulties and problems encountered in developing foldable devices, and revealed that Apple is currently working with Samsung Display and LG Display to jointly develop 20-inch foldable devices.
Baek Seung-in, executive director of Samsung Display, explained the technical difficulties encountered by current foldable devices at yesterday’s event:
foldable crack
foldable crease
stylus problem
folding torque
compressive stress
screen distortionBaek Seung-in said that since the launch of the first generation of foldable mobile phones in 2019, the crease problem has always been at the forefront of development . The content is as follows: “We have worked hard for many years. Although we have improved the crease, we still cannot completely make it disappear.”
Baek Seung-in revealed at the event that he is currently working with LG Display to develop a foldable 20-inch tablet and notebook hybrid device for Apple, but he said it will take longer to prepare.
Ross Young said in February that Apple is developing a 20.5-inch foldable laptop that could be released as soon as 2025.
He said at the time: “The current information I have learned is that Apple may launch a 20.5-inch foldable notebook in 2025, but I did not know that Apple will launch a foldable iPad in 2024. Perhaps this news is a good PR for the hinge company.”
