Report: Samsung’s 2024 foldable device will use a transparent PI substrate to improve under-display camera

According to the Korean report, Samsung is now working to use transparent PI substrates in its 2024 foldable device to improve the under-display camera performance. On the other side, the South tech company will ditch the current display panel which is the yellow PI substrates.

According to industry sources, Samsung Display plans to use transparent polyimide (PI) substrates in foldable mobile phones that will be released around 2024. Current mass-produced flexible organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) for foldable mobile phone applications use a yellow PI substrate.

We discovered that Samsung Display intends to use transparent PI substrates in flexible OLEDs to improve the light transmittance of the under-screen camera (UPC). The UPC’s lens aperture, which is only visible when the camera function is activated, is structurally located below the OLED display. External light must pass through the flexible OLED when using the UPC’s camera function.

Samsung Display reduced the pixel density of the UPC area to 187 PPI, which is half of the 374 PPI (pixels per inch) of the remaining display area, to make up for these shortcomings brought by the first UPC applied to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. If the pixel density is low, the area that can receive light can be increased. But the display pixel size of the UPC area is also increased to 4 times the remaining area, so there is a clear boundary between the UPC and the rest of the display.

TelegramIf Samsung Display replaces the yellow PI substrate with a transparent PI substrate, the transmittance of the UPC area will increase, allowing for sharper photos than are currently possible. Pixels can also be packed more densely than they are now, resulting in less noticeable borders between the display and the rest of the screen.

The heat resistance and high cost of transparent PI varnishes required to produce transparent PI substrates are also mentioned in the report. Samsung Display had planned to use a transparent PI substrate on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 that was released last year, but the application was delayed due to the properties of the transparent PI varnish. If Samsung Display succeeds in developing a transparent PI substrate, it is expected to be used first in Samsung Electronics’ foldable mobile phone OLED and then in Apple’s iPhone.

According to its own technology roadmap, LG Display is also developing transparent PI substrates for UPC applications. Yellow PI substrates are also used in LG Display’s iPhone flexible OLED panels for Apple.  According to the roadmap, LG Display plans to increase the UPC transmittance to 20% by 2023 and 40% after 2024.

Samsung DIY repairing

Samsung is making it easier for users to fix their devices by expanding its DIY repair program. In a recent announcement, Samsung shared that over a dozen new devices will be included in the Self-Repair program. Among them are the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, marking the introduction of DIY repair options for Samsung’s foldable phones.

The Self-Repair program will provide users with access to parts and guides for fixing their devices at home. Samsung [Samsung Newsroom Post] is taking a step towards empowering users to take control of their device maintenance, offering support for popular devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 in this latest expansion.

Until now, Samsung mainly provided DIY repair options for its regular smartphones, tablets, and laptops. However, when it came to the more intricate foldable models like the Galaxy Fold and Flip, the company limited users to professional repair services due to the complexity of these devices.

Now, in a noteworthy move, Samsung is expanding its DIY repair support to include its foldable models, starting with the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. This means users will soon have the option to tackle repairs at home, marking a shift in Samsung’s approach to empower users in maintaining and fixing their foldable devices.

This development follows Google’s recent introduction of DIY repair options for its Pixel Fold, though it’s worth noting that repair parts for the Pixel Fold can be relatively expensive, such as the inner screen alone costing $900. As Samsung joins the DIY repair trend for foldables, it’ll be interesting to see how this impacts the accessibility and affordability of maintaining these innovative devices.

The full list of new Self-Repair options for Galaxy devices includes:

  • Galaxy Z Fold 5
  • Galaxy Z Flip 5
  • Galaxy S23
  • Galaxy S23+
  • Galaxy S23 Ultra
  • Galaxy S23 FE
  • Galaxy A05s
  • Galaxy Tab S9
  • Galaxy Tab S9+
  • Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra
  • Galaxy Tab S9 FE
  • Galaxy Tab S9+ FE
  • Galaxy Tab A9
  • Galaxy Tab A9+
  • Galaxy Book 2 Pro (15-inch)
  • Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 (15-inch)

Samsung is making its Self-Repair program available to more people around the world. The program is spreading to South Korea and over 30 European countries, including places like Denmark, Greece, Hungary, and Portugal. However, it’s important to note that, as of now, these new devices are not yet supported in the United States, and parts are not available from Samsung’s retail partner, iFixit.

HarmonyOS Next

Huawei’s big boss just hinted at exciting new things for their software in 2024! Expect fresh products built on their latest HarmonyOS NEXT system.

During the Fan Club (Pollen) Annual Conference 2023, Yu Chengdong announced that Huawei plans to reveal several advanced products next year. He also predicted the launch of HarmonyOS NEXT products and improved native application experiences in 2024.

The CEO didn’t share when exactly the new software and native applications would be released, but we can anticipate the official reveal to happen in early 2024.

Huawei needs to make HarmonyOS fully independent and essential without relying on Android libraries soon. Hopefully, the company will speed up its efforts in the coming days.

Many app developers, such as Alipay, McDonald’s, HiPaint, Bank of Communications, and others, have joined native app development for HarmonyOS. The goal is to create a strong app ecosystem independent of Android and iOS.

Huawei is set to offer HarmonyOS-based courses, with approval for 55 projects and over 10 universities planning to launch these courses soon.

Huawei plans to introduce apps in more than 18 categories, focusing on digital and financial sectors. According to Yu Chengdong, these native HarmonyOS applications aim to be smoother, smarter, safer, and more comprehensive compared to iOS and Android.
