Samsung introduces titanium into foldable displays: The new Flex Titanium standard is unveiled

Samsung Electronics has announced the implementation of the revolutionary Flex Titanium technology, which will be at the heart of the next generation of foldable devices in the Galaxy series. After seven generations of development, the company has found a solution to one of the biggest challenges facing foldable screens – the balance between a thin profile, durability, and crease visibility.

The key to the innovation is the integration of two new titanium components: a titanium alloy foil and a titanium plate. According to company representatives, titanium offers a unique combination of properties that traditional materials cannot achieve on the same scale. The titanium alloy foil, located beneath the OLED panel, is 20 times harder than polymer analogs, yet so thin that it is barely three times thicker than a human hair.

Beneath this foil lies the titanium plate, which provides structural stability and a tighter connection to the rest of the device. By using special micro-holes, Samsung engineers have managed to maintain the necessary level of flexibility without sacrificing the display's resistance to repeated folding and unfolding.

"Samsung's strength is based on our ability to turn consumer needs into real technological benefits," said Sunghoon Moon, Executive Vice President at Samsung Electronics. In addition to mechanical improvements, the new display architecture will also utilize new organic materials that will improve image brightness and optimize the power consumption of the devices.

The Flex Titanium technology is expected to officially debut with the new Galaxy models, details of which will be revealed during the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event.
