Samsung is reportedly planning to release a Galaxy smartphone with a three-sided display that wraps around the edges of the device, reports Bloomberg. The display would allow messages to be read from an angle.
The phone will use an upgraded version of Samsung’s technology called Youm, currently featured in the curved Galaxy Round handset, the people said, asking not to be identified because the plans haven’t been released. The display may be used in the S or Note series of premium handsets or may be the first in a new line, the people said. Samsung plans to have each side of the display operate independently.
Notably, SEL has developed flexibile, high definition CAAC-OS displays that can curve around the edges of your phone. The company recently demonstrated their displays noting that, "A display that can be bent into a diameter of 4 mm is probably unparalleled worldwide. In particular, this is the only technology that can display a picture on bent edges."

Samsung has different business - not just phones. This is just a display of their progress in manufacturing display screen. Now it is up to other companies to get all the right parts and make something creative out of it. Of course Apple is the king of that.
lol. Now apple has something to copy. They have copied already everything available in the market and they were waiting for something new to come up. Now they will announce iPhone 7 with this technology .
there's probably a use for this kind of technology somewhere but probably not here. i think samsung just likes to show off without factoring in practicality or the usefulness of where they apply this tech.
if samsung pantent this technology, they might win the phone industry, lets face it, being an apple user. apple wouldnt get to where they're at with samsung's help. but they just need to patent more technology of their own. Or we have been trolled to pick sides, because we humans always like to pick sides when someone is fighting.
You do realize dropping this phone will perminently break the curved screen if they were to make this! About apple getting help, I don't see why they need samsung if they came up with anything first! Apple came up with many names and if you look at iphone 4s, you'll notice galaxy s4 has 4s spelled backwards for example!
They didn't though, they stole patents and ideas from other companies and sued them to bankrupt them. The iPhone screen isn't very good also, drop it and it cracks easily, other phones have Gorilla Glass, which is more protective and scratch proof, but can still break. Apple stole 15 patents from Samsung and other companies, lets not forget that Apple still uses Samsung's patent for the processor, without it, there would be no LTE or 4G compatibility.
Simple - Apple was able to release the iPhone earlier because of the companies they bankrupt, they stole from to create these "innovative" ideas. Samsung depended on an operating system, so it took a while for Android to build a very simplistic, yet advanced, original OS because it is open-source. The free OS started out buggy and bland, however, over time it worked its way up, and Samsung was able to create a powerful phone with it, in which the OS would work well with the specs. You see, when a company doesn't steal too many ideas, create patents instead of take, and have the phones manufactured in a Korean factory, instead of the horrible working conditions Foxconn has that Apple uses - original ideas are harder to make and take a longer time.
I don't really think Apple stole that many patents from anybody or they would be sued for it first. Ideas from others, yes. Samsung also steal ideas from others. If there are features that aren't patented, u can copy it. Apple has sued others when they feel their patents has been copied.
iPhones hold up better then gorilla glass watch any drop test on YouTube plus from personal expirience my iPhone 5 I dislike covers and dropped it allot it got dented scratched the black off but never cracked like my 4s hence improvement so don't pull stuff out of your behind to sound smart and the iPhone 5s I just bought hasn't been dropped but I'll let you know if it cracks which I doubt.
Nope. Looked at YouTube vids, iPhone screens crack like any other. I said before that Gorilla Glass is scratch resistant and holds out better, which is true, but throw it against a rock, it will crack like an iPhone's, I never said it was unbreakable. Thanks for the opinion though.
Nice idea but not realistic useful. How are you going to protect the sides?. Clear bumper case?. How many will damage those side screens? Unless they make it indestructible.
Before long everything will be a display, even the garbage cans we throw our disposable displays, soon to be known as scrap paper, into. Baby steps into a grand future.
