We should expect it on mobile devices soonest from Samsung. Samsung has now been granted patent by United States Patent and Trademark office.

A little sip into the technicality behind the design, reveals Samsung incorporated a flexible substance in one layer of the display panel. The documentation noted a Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN), Polyarylate (PAR) and other similar chemical substances. The end result of the combination is a grid like structure that can withstand being bent without affecting it’s structural makeup. A dielectric elastomer film also complements the bending technology. The film is referred to as a smart material system which tranforms electric signals to mechanical work. This actually means the Display panel Samsung had patent for, may be able to bend freely without the need of the application of an external force.
