Samsung Display's new micro-site contains a raft of teasers that might make sense of earlier leaks and rumors concerning the OEM's plans for its OLED technology and the devices based on it. They hint at an upcoming product line replete with foldable laptops, rollable TVs and collapsible tablets.

Samsung Display has been hinting at the advent of its "OLED Era", or one in which the high-end display technology is available to its clients and consumers in an even greater range of products and use-cases, for some time now. The company has now gotten slightly more overt with these teasers with its new micro-site.

The resource serves to preview or showcase many types of the OEM's new or upcoming products, the potentially upcoming "Samsung Flex OLED" line included. The South Korean giant's Display division now asserts that it consists of support for different potential form-factors, all with the best attriibutes of the existing Galaxy Z Fold or Flip lines.

They include ultra-thin glass coverage for enhanced durabilty; a tight bending radius of as little as 1.4 millimeters and the resilience to withstand up to 200,000 folds. However, the upcoming panels in question can apparently be larger or more advanced than the current offerings.

They include Flex Bar, a display type quite like that of the Z Flip3, as well as Flex Square (a Z Fold-style panel). Furthermore, the site offers a first glimpse at Flex Note, a new trademark that might be Samsung's new way of describing tech that delivers devices along the lines of the ThinkPad X1 Fold (or perhaps even bigger) in the works.

The site also now teases Rollable Flex (possibly Samsung's take on the LG Signature OLED R), and Slidable Flex, which might feature on the rumored Galaxy Z Slide one day. All in all, it seems the OEM intends to deliver on earlier promises of an exciting OLED-clad destiny for next-gen technology.
