Samsung reveals UL-approved ‘unbreakable’ OLED screen destined for smartphones

Samsung, Apple’s sole supplier of OLED displays for the iPhone X, today announced that it has developed an “unbreakable” OLED panel. The company made the somewhat vague announcement in a press release, saying the display has been certified by Underwriters Laboratories as unbreakable.
 
According to tests performed by UL, which is an official testing company for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor, the display survived a series of drops from 1.2 meters (nearly 4ft) above the ground.

Further, the display was able to come out with “no sign of damage” and operating normally after a drop test from 1.8 meters (6ft).

Samsung currently serves as Apple’s sole provider of OLED displays for the iPhone X. With this year’s new iPhones, however, Samsung is expected to add LG as another provider of OLED panels. Whether or not this unbreakable display technology makes its way to a future iPhone or the Galaxy Note 9 is unclear.
