Samsung Introduces Folding LCD Screens


Samsung foldable LCDYahoo news is reporting that Samsung SDI has developed a folding LCD screen for use in e-books.

SEOUL (Reuters) – A new paperback-sized computer screen that folds like a book will be ideal for Internet users reading online novels, its South Korean inventor said on Tuesday.

The 6.7 inch by 5 inch flat LCD screen folds along a central hinge and is much clearer than existing devices, display maker Samsung SDI said.

It spent $1.54 million developing the screen and plans to start producing it in the second-half of 2002. It expects its sister company Samsung Electronics to build it into an “e-book” computer.
