SlashGear Japan
We hear a lot of companies claiming to have super thin devices here on SlashGear, but I think we’ve just hit the motherload. Check out this OLED display from UDC. It’s super thin, super flexible and pretty impressive.
Â
UDC have used thin metal foils for the displays, apparently because they have great barrier properties and are really flexible. After that, however, they had to find a way to develop a “flexible thin film permeation barrier.” And since OLEDs can break down when exposed to water and air, they came up with a new material that is flexible and makes for a “highly impermeable barrier layer.”
This is really exciting news, because just look at how thin that is. And with an environmentally-friendly and inexpensive approach, OLEDs are coming that much closer to the standard consumer market.
