AbakwaSamsung Electronics benze ngempumelelo i-flexible liquid crystal display (LCD) enobude obuyi-diagonal obungamayintshi angu-7.Lobu buchwepheshe bungase busetshenziswe ngolunye usuku emikhiqizweni efana nephepha likagesi.

Nakuba lolu hlobo lwesibonisi lufana nomsebenzi wezikrini ze-LCD ezisetshenziswa kuma-TV noma ezincwadini zokubhalela, izinto ezisetshenziswayo zihluke ngokuphelele-enye isebenzisa ingilazi eqinile kanti enye isebenzisa ipulasitiki eguquguqukayo.

Isibonisi esisha sakwaSamsung sinesixazululo esingu-640×480, futhi indawo yaso iphindwe kabili kuneyomunye umkhiqizo ofanayo owakhonjiswa ngoJanuwari kulo nyaka.

Ubuchwepheshe obahlukahlukene manje buzama ukuba izinga lezikrini zokubonisa eziguquguqukayo, ezinamandla aphansi.I-Philips kanye nenkampani yokuqala i-E Ink ibonisa amafonti ngokuhlanganisa ubuchwepheshe be-microcapsule emnyama nemhlophe esikrinini.Ngokungafani ne-LCD, isibonisi se-E Ink asidingi ukukhanya kwangemuva, ngakho sisebenzisa amandla amancane.U-Sony usebenzise lesi sikrini ukukhiqiza iphepha le-elekthronikhi.

Kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo, ezinye izinkampani zithuthukisa ngamandla izibonisi ze-OLED (organic light-emitting diode) ezisebenzisa amandla amancane kunama-LCD.

AbakwaSamsung batshale imali eningi ekuthuthukisweni kobuchwepheshe be-OLED futhi sebevele basebenzise lobu buchwepheshe kweminye yemikhiqizo yabo yamaselula kanye ne-TV prototypes.Kodwa-ke, i-OLED isewubuchwepheshe obusha, futhi ukukhanya kwayo, ukuqina nokusebenza kwayo kusazothuthukiswa.Ngokuphambene, izinzuzo eziningi ze-LCD zisobala kubo bonke.

Le phaneli ye-LCD eguquguqukayo yaqedwa ngaphansi kohlelo lokuthuthukisa iphrojekthi lweminyaka emithathu oluxhaswe ngabakwaSamsung kanye noMnyango Wezimboni Nezamandla waseKorea.
