Samsung Galaxy Skin, the new mobile phone concept takes a leap forward from the “Smart Phone” era to declare the “Genius Phone” era, a world beyond being smart. It seems that Samsung Electronics team designed the Galaxy Skin as iPhone and iPad was sailing a new height.
The AMOLED flexible display uses a plastic polyimide substrate instead of one made of glass. Tests shown that using plastic polyimide instead of glass will allow the flexible displays to bend around a cylinder with a 1-inch diameter. The electrical signals send to the flexible display cause physical deformation which is the electrically active polymer core technology. A big win for this type of displays is that they use the AMOLED technology, meaning that they come with low energy consumption and good screen brightness. Moreover, Samsung has teamed up with a Japanese company called Ube Kosan, who most probably will be playing important role in production of the AMOLED flexible displays.
The Galaxy Skin series phones may bring in the sensor sensitivity similar to that of ITC (Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation) for remote sensing which depending on change in weather and temperature, including change in color enables charging of solar battery, concept similar to photosynthesis.
The new core technology in Samsung Galaxy Skin utilizing mouse-featured applications will allow the phone to act as a mouse apart from fulfilling the function of being a smartphone. Also the “Galaxy Skin” smartphone because of its flexibility can be turned into a watch clock on a table or can be worn in the hand and can act as a smart projector when placed on table. The future phone also may be integrated with 3D effects as well.
