Samsung is aiming to launch mobile phones with flexible displays next year, with tablets and other portable devices to have these displays soon after.
The Korean company announced today that it was aiming to follow on the success of its Galaxy S II smartphone, which has now sold 10 million units in five months.
"The flexible display, we are looking to introduce sometime in 2012, hopefully the earlier part," said spokesman Robert Yi. "The application probably will start from the handset side."

Yi said that tablets and other mobile devices with flexible displays would follow.
Samsung has shown flexible OLED (organic light emitting diode) displays inside rigid cases that kept the screens curved. The technology has material within each pixel that generates light, making it perhaps more suitable for flexible screens than LCDs, which would require both a flexible screen and a backlight.
