Samsung's new OLED panel ditches glass for a flexible plastic cover

We keep on dropping our smartphones, so manufacturers keep on trying to find ways to make the displays on them tougher. Just a few days after Corning unveiled its improved Gorilla Glass 6, Samsung has shown off an officially "unbreakable" OLED panel destined for the Galaxy smartphones of 2019.

Samsung actually previewed the 6.2-inch, 1,440 x 2,960 pixel panel a couple of months ago, but it's now been given the seal of approval from industry testers Underwriters Laboratories (UL), which works with the US government.
