Jae-Nam Yun, Executive Vice President and Head of Mobile Display Marketing Team at Samsung Display said, “Since beginning mass production of foldable OLEDs in 2019, we have continued to drive technological innovation to perfect the product—becoming the first in the industry to apply UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) and LEAD, a polarizer-free OCF technology, to foldables.”
The MONTFLEX name means something to Samsung Display and is based on the French word for mountain. The Samsung unit says the moniker “represents the pinnacle of foldable innovation and embodies the company’s drive for the perfect foldable panel.” Additionally, the first four letters of the MONTFLEX name each stand for a key strength of Samsung’s foldable OLED displays:
- M-mechanically durable offering outstanding folding reliability.
- O-opto-mechanically flat, delivering a vivid display with minimal crease.
- N-narrow bezels that maximize screen area.
- T-thin and lightweight design that enhances portability.
Through the launch of MONTFLEX, Samsung Display said that it hopes to show to both consumers and its customers the “unique value” of its foldable OLED panels. At the same time, Samsung wants to remind the world that it expects it leadership position in foldables to remain “a key driver of future growth.”
We should know much more about the new displays when Samsung puts them on display (pardon the pun) during the 2025 Korea Display Exhibition opening this coming Thursday.
