Within the smartphone market, Samsung remains one of the most popular manufacturers today.
However, it seems that the company is working on the development of a project not related to these devices, which was presented at the recent Annual Intel Innovation Conference.
It is the prototype of what would be a PC with sliding screenwhich would be being carried out in collaboration with Intel itself.
In that sense, JS Choi, the CEO of Samsung Displaytook to the conference stage and showed off a device that started out looking like a 13 inch tabletwhose screen changed when pulling one of its sides until adopt a new dimension of 17 inches.
The key for this to happen was in the incorporation of a flexible screen that has a left side that remains coiled, so that it can be unfolded and take on a larger size.
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first joint effort of Intel and Samsung in terms of incorporating flexible screens into a PC, although this time it seems that they have chosen to change their initial plan for a screen in a sliding format.
The reasons behind this decision have not yet been revealed, although it could be thought that Samsung is in an experimental phase where it is testing different form factors and folding systems until it finds one that has the potential to be accepted by the public.
For now, neither Samsung nor Intel have offered information that allows knowing when this sliding screen will make its market debut. It will be necessary to stay tuned for any news that may arise later regarding this project.
