now lots of times there is said to be new emerging technology just around the corner that is going to revolutionize everything sometimes nothing happens will that be true when it comes to foldable or bendable displays I think not why because there are nearly countless practical applications for bendable displays oh you want me to count them one two three four five six seven eight nine well now this very promising report is all about the exciting possibilities of bendable displays just around the corner and it was given to us by an executive of Collin industries now I know it's spelled : but I'm not saying : because that's a whole other type of bendable by 2019 foldable devices are expected to have skyrocketed in popularity just after our short term on the market this according to an executive at Collin industries which makes a critical component for foldable displays they told Korean Herald this last week and they also expect foldable devices to have a 20% market share in South Korea during the same year so I know what you're thinking who is this guy and why should we listen to him well : Industries is currently the only company in the whole world that is able to mass-produce colorless polymide an essential ingredient in foldable devices : Industries is already working closely with big names like Samsung and LG by supplying them with the already mentioned material based on their insider information Colin Industries expects that between three and five companies will begin mass producing foldable smartphones by 2018 and they believe that the first devices will hit the market will have a bend radius of 5 millimeters instead of just one millimeter as have been previously predicted now a Bend radius is simply the minimum radius something can be bent without causing damage to it therefore a smaller radius means that a certain material is more flexible obviously a very important consideration when talking about folding devices but according to Colin industries that radius will improve over time the Bend radius of one millimetre is the most ideal but that may cause a safety issue so tech companies are likely to unveil the Bend radius of 5 millimeters first and then gradually unveil devices with less Bend radius now will this actually become a reality in the foreseeable future I don't know I know that it seems really amazing and it just seems like the next logical step for many people but here's the thing a lot of early adopters and tech geeks like us get really excited about any new possible innovation but to the mainstream it may seem like more of a hassle than it's worth or try and solve a problem that just isn't a problem does it make things more convenient does it make things quicker and easier I don't know I can think of many practical applications like the most obvious is bendable displays that are on your clothes so in an emergency situation for example you know clothes that are monitoring all your vitals can show that information to emergency personnel it can be on cars on windshields on a whole bunch of stuff I mean there's just endless examples about it what do you guys think what are the practical applications for bendable displays that are actually really useful and don't just make it cool you know I'm talking about let me know in the comments below
