The hinge design uses ultra-thin alloy materials. These materials reduce thickness while maintaining strength. Tests show the hinge can survive over 200,000 folds. This matches the lifespan of current foldable screens. The technology also minimizes creases on displays. Users will see smoother surfaces when devices are unfolded.

Samsung Display focused on improving device portability. The slimmer hinge allows phones or tablets to fold completely flat. This eliminates gaps between screen halves. Dust and debris are less likely to enter the device. The design supports multiple folding angles. People can adjust screens for viewing, typing, or video calls.

The company plans to mass-produce the hinge soon. It will first appear in Samsung’s upcoming foldable smartphones. Partners in the tech industry have shown interest. Samsung Display believes the technology will push growth in foldable markets.

A Samsung Display spokesperson said the hinge solves key challenges. “Reliability and screen quality matter most for foldables. This technology addresses both.” The team worked over two years on material research and mechanical testing.

Samsung Display leads in OLED innovation. It supplies screens for smartphones, laptops, and automotive displays. The company continues investing in next-generation display solutions.
