What is technology…..Flexible screens have been used in electronics such as Sony televisions and cameras, but flexible screens such as smartphone screens have been under development in recent ten years and only recently have they been transformed into prototypes and presented to the public. These screens are based on a flexible substrate, the substrate can be made of plastic, metal or flexible glass, this allows the screens to be lighter, thinner and more durable than normal screens found in televisions, phones and some cameras. What is done? Replacing the screen with a bendable plastic one will allow it to be transformed into different shapes suitable for the consumer's hand and cheek area. An example of this is the Samsung Galaxy Round, which is currently the only phone developed to accommodate the flexible OLED screen. The phone (shown in the image) has a curved front and back that allows the consumer to hold it more comfortably. This means it fits more comfortably on both the cheek and the hand. How or why it can be classified as an emerging technologyOne of the meanings of emerging technologies are technologies that arise from new knowledge or innovative applications of existing knowledge. Flexible OLED screens (also known as organic light-emitting diodes) originally came from the idea of LCD screens in TVs, being flexible. The idea also originated from a foldable and flexible electronic newspaper. This idea of foldable and flexible newspapers was introduced in the early 21st century, in an attempt to replace paper newspapers. However, the developers later discovered that making this type of newspaper will cost more money than simply purchasing a paper copy, abandoning the idea. But companies like Samsung and LG took their ideas from these electronic newspapers and turned them into a screen instead. Through the past
