These companies have reportedly partnered with South-Korean giant LG Display, which the display subsidiary of LG for bendable displays to be used into foldable devices with a mechanism that helps the screen stretched over the surface. Previously, Samsung was the only company which successfully created a working prototype of a flexible OLED display. But with this new partnership, LG Display will become one of the mass producers of OLED panels.

OLED screens are really the future of display technology as they have infinite contrast ratios, higher brightness levels, a wider colour range and require very less power to operate, reports OLED-info. The main advantage of OLED screens is that they are ultra-thin and can be folded just like a paper. They are much cheaper to produce than conventional LCD and LED panels which means that future devices will all be equipped with OLED panels.

South-Korean giants, LG Display and Samsung will be the mass producers of flexible OLED panels because of the quality panels produced by them. Oppo and Lenovo also produced prototype OLED displays but their level of perfection was not upto the mark.
