The Chinese company TCL has started talking about rollable smartphones at the beginning of the year, at the January CES 2020. Now a video has appeared on the network showing a prototype of such a smartphone. A short video shows how a smartphone with a 4.5″ screen can stretch up to 6.7 inches without significantly increasing the thickness of the device.
TCL is developing a technology based on
flexible backing OLED screens. The manufacturer said that at the moment such
screens can be collapsed and expanded 200 thousand times. At IFA, the Chinese
manufacturer announced that it does not plan to bring devices with such a
screen to the market until the end of 2020. However, Ross Young, Founder and
Lead Analyst at DisplaySearch and DSCC, commented on the video, noting that
there is a “race” with the release of such devices, which means that we will
not have to wait too long.
