It can expand from a 10.5″ 4:3 screen to a 12.4″ 16:10 screen
After announcing the world’s first dual 4K gaming monitor yesterday, Samsung has now demonstrated yet another unique display concept at CES 2023. The new device, titled “Flex Hybrid” from Samsung Display, features a unique panel that moves and is shaped. Folds to reveal more screen real estate.
The Flex Hybrid prototype features a hinge that lets you open the left half to reveal a tablet-sized screen, like the Galaxy Z Fold 4. Additionally, the right side of the panel can also slide out like LG’s canceled foldable phone. You can access a larger screen. Although Samsung Display hasn’t revealed detailed specifications, the company says the Flex Hybrid can expand from a 10.5-inch 4:3 aspect ratio screen to a massive 12.4-inch screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio.
Samsung could use this technology in a foldable future, allowing users to unfold the device for a small tablet-style experience and expand it to consume content. But you shouldn’t expect the company to release a device featuring this display technology anytime soon. That’s because Samsung Display regularly shows off new display concepts, and its prototypes from last year’s Display Week haven’t yet made it to a production device.
Alongside the Flex Hybrid, Samsung Display is also showing off larger slideable prototypes for future laptops at CES 2023. The Flex Slideable Solo features a slideable screen on one side, while the Flex Slideable Duet has a sliding mechanism on the sides. Both models can be expanded from 13-14 inches to 17.3 inches. Finally, Samsung Display is also showing off a new set of display panels for self-driving cars at the event, but the company hasn’t shared many details regarding that.
