Coming Soon Flexible Handset in your Hands

Imagine that you have your mobile phone like a piece of paper to use. Let it wring, bend, loose or distorted, and put into your pocket when you need, use it again without any damage. Nowadays, researchers are working on flexible mobile phones like that are, which is extremely thin and able to bend like paper would be placed.

Samples of such flexible phone in gadget shows are already attracting to public But now the spotlight is on full steam that the first phone will be available in the market by next year 2013. Like LG, Philips, Sharp, Sony and Nokia companies are already working on this technology, but according to reports, South Korean company Samsung can bring the first such phone to hit in the market.

Samsung is in favor of flexible technology and are confident that these will be very popular among consumers around the world.

Technology

Samsung spokesman says that the screen of the phone will be flexible and would be better, compared to the traditional LCD technology, these also will be light and thin as well as plastic.

There are many techniques that can be made flexible to smart phones. The concept behind it is that electronic devices should be made flexible, connected materials also should be flexible. In the 1960s the first flexible solar cells was demonstrated. In 2005, Philips has demonstrated a flexible sample for the first time. It is essential to create completely flexible product that all its parts are also flexible. In addition to the external cover and battery also need to be flexible.

Cambridge University Professor Andre Ferrari is working on flexible materials for the future. They are using griffin for this. In 2004, these substances were created by two Russian scientists working at the University of Manchester. Griffin is a sheet made of carbon molecules. And it is much stronger than diamonds. Not only is it transparent and light but also extremely flexible.

Researchers say that Griffin and Silicon may revolutionize to the future for electronic devices. Working for Nokia, Cambridge University Professor Ferrari points out, "we are working on flexible and transparent display, and these could become part of the flexible Tablet, TV and solar cells in future".

He says, "actually Samsung is quite advanced in this area from, but we have some good work on Nokia prototype in Cambridge here." He says that Griffin is not only to make flexible phone but it will be quite helpful to improve its quality because as a theory a battery of flexible handset also can be prepared from similar material. Regardless, any technology that a handset will soon be in your hands, it will be not just smart but also flexible.
