You’d think something like this would be major tech news, people have been talking about this tech for ages and a consensus for many is that it wasn’t impossible. (Look at all the crap foldable phones)
It’s objectively not cheap but it’s not expensive for such revolutionary tech.
I’m not sure what you mean. Flexible OLED displays have been around for a while and foldable devices are just an example of the technology in use, but we’ve had them in consumer products way before that (phones with curved edge displays, for example). The potential for flexibility has always been intrinsic to OLED displays because they don’t need a backlight. The reason our phones don’t bend and flex like the “device” in the video isn’t because of the display, but because the battery, processors, ram, speakers, ports and all other components are not flexible and won’t be for a while. The device in the video does not include those, there is a ribbon cable coming out of the bottom connecting the two screens to the actual hardware.
I had no idea and i thought i was relatively up to date with new gen technology. I thought the foldable phones that came out where more an experimental proof of concept of the first instance of such technology but not that whole flexible panels where possible.
Even just the fact an oled display can be this thin is completely new to me.
Of course there aren’t any reviews (not that I’d automatically believe them, anyway). While it sounds super exciting, I’m not super willing to spend almost 300USD for unverified tech. Somebody should send link this to Gamer’s Nexus to review lol
Their description reads
One commenter says you can buy these kinds of displays on Amazon. Another responds AliExpress. Another reply says
So they’re not exactly inexpensive. Which is, of course, not unexpected, given it’s a new kind of product, relatively recent tech.
Found them on amazon holy shit.

Only 250 €? That’s not expensive/overpriced for the product. And far from the 700$ mentioned by a comment.
When I looked on DE Amazon I didn’t find any.
Good luck with overpriced shipping :) but still for something i though was not yet possible its shockingly accessible.
