Last year, Samsung folded its displays at CES almost in every way one might imagine, but this year it combines that with another trick – slides. That Flex hybrid OLED The mobile screen, which will be presented at CES 2023, can be folded on one side as well as slide out on the other side, changing both the size and the aspect ratio.
Starting at a relatively compact 4.2-inches or so wide, it folds out to a 10.5-inch 4:3 display that’s good for productivity. You can then pull out the right side to create a 12.4-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio. This makes it well-suited for entertaining or content creation, especially given the potentially excellent picture quality offered by OLED display technology.
The extra two inches of screen seems to roll out from under the right side of the device when you slide it out, judging by the extra thickness on that side of the display. The combined technology could effectively allow you to carry a 12.4-inch 16:10 OLED tablet in a jacket pocket – ideal for entertaining or working on the go.
Two more Samsung displays will make their public debut at CES 2023. The Flex Slidable Solo expands from a 14-inch OLED panel to a wider 17.3-inch display by sliding open from one side. And the Flex Slidable Duet OLED stretches from two sides to make the same conversion. Both panels were presented Intel’s Innovation 2022 Event in September, but have yet to be shown publicly.
