Samsung names flexible AMOLED display brand as YOUM

By on April 9, 2012 at 7:46am in Mobile News


Samsung is targeting to release a device this year with a flexible display. Last year Samsung spokesman Robert Yi said that “The flexible display, we are looking to introduce sometime in 2012, hopefully the earlier part. The application probably will start from the handset side.”

The company has shown off this display at several trade shows. During CES 2011 we captured the flexible display in action on video – at the time the resolution was 800 x 480 and was dubbed the “world’s thinnest resolution Flexible AMOLED” that measured in less than 0.27mm thin. Samsung has officially registered a trademark and logo design for their upcoming flexible display brand, it’s called YOUM. The name represents its next genration of display and Samsung claims they are thinner, lighter and “unbreakable.”

    Why you need a flexible screen? You don’t need 4g either. All you need is siri!!

    • ihurt

      Are you an American? Siri doesn’t even fully function here in Canada.

    Clever… Apple is all about the “i”, and Samsung is all about the “you”…..

    I could see this being handy; not only would it be a cool party trick, but it would bend to feel nice and curved against your face, or curve to fit into your pocket and match the bend if your legs.

    Sure it’s not Galaxy Youm? Lol Samsung uses that Galaxy tag way too much on their phone names. Maybe other products they release and start using it too ;)

      You think Samsung uses the word galaxy too much? It’s their flagship product. That’s like saying apple uses “I” too much in their products.
