Sony’s razor-thin OLED display (thickness: 0.3mm) was one of the most spectacular products of the CEATEC 2008 exhibition that took place just outside of Tokyo last month. Now Samsung, after having the tech world impressed with its “flapping OLED display”, showcased a similar device during the FPD International 2008 in Tokyo.

Samsung’s 15 million-color display boasts a screen size of 6.5 inches and a resolution of 480×272. The company said it didn’t use conventional glass for the substrate and decided to go for low-temperature polysilicon TFT for the drive element.
