Samsung Galaxy Skin
A recent survey conducted by Nielsen reveals that a great percentage of mobile customers in the United States are owners of smartphones and also that smartphones are responsible for the majority of purchases of new cell phone.
Smartphone is a gadget that has classified the convenience of a tiny computer that can be easily taken anywhere. With smartphones increasing becoming a trend around the globe, iPhones along with Android phones are now components of many households.
The rivalry between popular handset manufacturers such as Apple, Motorola, HTC and Samsung has resulted in superior battery life to boost the functions of the smartphone, 4G speeds for faster data transfer, incorporation of newer software, bigger displays, faster processors and a variety of designs, including the Samsung Galaxy Skin.
The Galaxy Skin was designed and developed by Hye Yeon You and Prof. Haeseong J. Jee and it was first displayed at an event at Hongik University, on June 10. According to Hye You, the design is still in the stage of conception and at the event, it was revealed to the Samsung team.
A few months after, Samsung confirmed the manufacture of the AMOLED displays which are flexible and set to be debuted by June 2012. At the Consumer Electronics Show 2011 in Las Vegas, Samsung showed off its AMOLED displays. The displays are bendable, can be rolled all the way up and they can even withstand direct hits from a hammer.
The concept for this new mobile phone leaps ahead of the smartphone era to usher in the era of the “Genius Phone.”
In the place of a glass display, the AMOLED flexible one utilizes a polyimide substrate made from plastic. Research has revealed that by using plastic polyimide in place of glass, the flexible displays will have the capacity to wrap around a 1-inch cylinder. The flexible display receives electrical signals which result in physical deformation; which is the polymer core technology that is electrically active. One of the best features of the flexible displays is that they make use of AMOLED technology, which means that they are equipped with low energy consumption and bright screens. Furthermore, Samsung has joined forces with Ube Kosan, a company in Japan, which will most likely play a vital role in manufacture of the AMOLED flexible displays.
The series of Samsung Galaxy Skin phones will possibly incorporate sensor sensitivity which is comparable to that of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC). This is used for remotely sensing the different changes in temperature and weather. It includes color changes which enables solar battery to charge, a concept which is comparable to photosynthesis.
