Samsung Display introduces MONT FLEX brand for foldable displays
Samsung Display will launch a new foldable display brand at the K-Display 2025, an industry exhibition of new technology that opens doors on August 7 (Thursday). The brand is dubbed 'MONT FLEX'. Here's how Samsung explains it. 'M' stands for mechanical durability, 'O' for opto-mechanically flat, 'N' for narrow bezels and 'T' for thin and lightweight design. In more detail, the M highlights innovations like the shock-resistant structure that allowed the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 displays to survive 500,000 fold cycles. The O highlights the work put into making the crease less visible. Narrow bezels give you more screen area. Finally, the whole industry is striving for thinner and lighter foldables and slimming down the display helps do just that. 'Mont' is also French for 'mountain', which is intentional – Samsung says that it represents the pinnacle of foldable innovation. 'Since beginning mass production of foldable OLEDs in 2019, we have continued to drive technological innovation to perfect the product—becoming the first in the industry to apply UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) and LEAD, a polarizer-free OCF technology, to foldables,' said Jae-Nam Yun, Executive Vice President and Head of Mobile Display Marketing Team at Samsung Display. Hold on, let us grab our tech initialism dictionary. LEAD stands for Low power consumption, Eco-friendliness, Augmented brightness and Designed to be soft and light. OCF or On-Cell Film improves visual performance while also making the display thinner and lighter. 'Following the launch of a foldable panel with a newly developed 'shock-resistant structure' that passed the 500,000-fold durability test, we will continue pushing the boundaries to deliver even more refined foldable products that exceed market expectations,' said Jae-Nam Yun. Foldable panels from Samsung Display are, of course, featured on the Galaxy Z series. The company sells to other smartphone makers too – recently, unofficial info surfaced that Apple has ordered panels for its upcoming foldable. Source

Samsung Display reveals what the next foldable devices might be wearing
On Monday, Samsung Display announced a new brand of foldable OLED displays called MONTFLEX, which will formally be introduced this week at the K-Display 2025 Korea Display Exhibition in Seoul, South Korea. Samsung Display has been producing foldable OLED panels for seven years, and the latest screens are not only slimmer and lighter than past displays, they are also extremely durable, remaining fully functional after 500,000 folds. Jae-Nam Yun, Executive Vice President and Head of Mobile Display Marketing Team at Samsung Display said, "Since beginning mass production of foldable OLEDs in 2019, we have continued to drive technological innovation to perfect the product—becoming the first in the industry to apply UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) and LEAD, a polarizer-free OCF technology, to foldables."

The Samsung unit says the moniker "represents the pinnacle of foldable innovation and embodies the company's drive for the perfect foldable panel." Additionally, the first four letters of the MONTFLEX name each stand for a key strength of Samsung's foldable OLED displays: M-mechanically durable offering outstanding folding reliability. O-opto-mechanically flat, delivering a vivid display with minimal crease. N-narrow bezels that maximize screen area. T-thin and lightweight design that enhances portability. Jae-Nam Yun adds that, "Following the launch of a foldable panel with a newly developed 'shock-resistant structure' that passed the 500,000-fold durability test, we will continue pushing the boundaries to deliver even more refined foldable products that exceed market expectations. Samsung's current foldable OLED screenn is called the Infinity Flex Display. The latter includes a proprietary ultra-thin glass (UTG) allowing these panels to be thin and flexible. Through the launch of MONTFLEX, Samsung Display said that it hopes to show to both consumers and its customers the "unique value" of its foldable OLED panels. At the same time, Samsung wants to remind the world that it expects it leadership position in foldables to remain "a key driver of future growth." We should know much more about the new displays when Samsung puts them on display (pardon the pun) during the 2025 Korea Display Exhibition opening this coming Thursday.
