Samsung Display is the world’s largest manufacturer of OLED panels for mobile devices, producing OLED panels for nearly all high-end phones, including all flagship iPhones since the iPhone X. After moving from traditional OLED panels to nearly frameless panels for today’s smartphones, the company wants to produce frameless OLED panels.
Apparently during a presentation, Samsung Display showed off its vision for the future of smartphones. The company showcased early bezel-less OLED displays with a notch at the top, as well as next-generation OLED panels with holes and pill-shaped cutouts for the front cameras. And on the same slide, the company showed off OLED panels, which it calls “Full Screen Anywhere.” According to the company, such panels will completely wrap the front of the smartphone and will effectively leave no front panel. Such borderless displays will have 3D lamination technology and edge brightness control.
A few weeks ago, Apple reportedly asked display panel suppliers LG Display and Samsung Display to develop bezel-less panels for future smartphones. While such phones are still a few years away and Samsung develops such screens, we can expect flagship Galaxy phones to have similar screens.
Samsung has also developed the UPC (Under Panel Camera) for smartphones and such panels are used in Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 5. It seems more and more that the smartphones of the future will have borderless screens with no visible cutouts. For front facing cameras. Source
