Samsung Displays have started whetting our appetites this week for flexible smartphone screen technology announcing that they will be showcasing their new 5.5 inch phone screen at CES next month.

Samsung Display will be exhibiting and demonstrating a pair of bendable screens at CES that could one day appear in a radically new smartphone or TV design, according to company representatives.

The flexible smartphone 5.5-inch flexible screen sports a resolution of 1,280 x 720 and a 267 pixel density, and will be accompanied with a 55-inch television screen. CNET explains:

"Samsung has been developing curving screens for some time, showing off smaller display demos, like the 4.5-inch WVGA screen with about a 200 pixel density that CNET saw at CES 2011. With this demo’s increased resolution and screen size, Samsung is clearly keeping pace with today’s smartphone expectations.”

Unfortunately no information on pricing or worldwide availability has been released as yet, but as soon as information comes to light we will keep you updated as always.
