Chinese display maker BOE has unveiled the world’s first flexible display that folds up to 360 degrees.
According to GizmoChina, BOE is said to adopt a “multi-neutral layer model design” for its new display and multi-mode foldable phone approach. This effectively reduces the stress of flexible outward and inward foldings, as well as reduces the possibility of causing creases from each fold.
The report added that the company claims the display is able to last approximately 200,000 folds throughout its use.
Currently, BOE has reportedly achieved mass production of R5 200,000-fold outward-folding displays and R3 200,000-fold in-folding displays, and supplies to domestic first-tier smartphone manufacturers.
