Samsung is a large manufacturer with many suppliers and subsidiaries. Samsung Electronics, which is also developing the Galaxy smartphone series, and the other is Samsung Display, which produces screens for smartphones, TVs, monitors and many more products. New news from South Korea reveals that Samsung Electronics plans to develop its own foldable panel without the help of Samsung Display to lower the cost of displays and take the development of display technologies into their own hands in the future. According to the news of ETNews, the mobile unit at Samsung Electronics has contacted multiple collapsible glass manufacturing companies. In this way, the company plans to increase the competition among suppliers and reduce the price while developing the technology over time. Samsung’s new phone, Galaxy Z Flip, has an extremely thin and bendable glass panel. Samsung Electronics believes that Samsung Display cannot achieve a more durable and thicker panel that will cause less trouble folding. On the other hand, the collapsible glass of the Galaxy Z Flip costs about $ 40, while the value of normal tempered glasses is around $ 2. The purpose of this in-house competition is to lower the price and workload of Samsung Electronics’ display module while maintaining high-tech quality and performance, such as the camera module or materials used. Currently, the cost of foldable screens is very high, which is reflected in the service costs of consumers.
