The display uses a micro-LED light source with a pixel pitch of less than 40μm to secure a high level of durability and resolution that competes with most existing monitors. The Stretchable display is equipped with flexible S-form spring wired system for ‘incredible’ durability and reliability.
LG claims that its new stretchable display can be easily attachable to curved surfaces such as skin, clothing, furniture, automobiles and aircraft. In addition, it expands the potential of the display in various industries including fashion, wearables, mobility and gaming.
What it means for Samsung?
South Korea-based LG Display is the biggest rival of Samsung Display. Both of these OEMs are the key suppliers of display technologies and panels for major vendors such as Samsung Electronics and Apple. Samsung is a king when it comes to smartphone market, but it has not yet introduced stretchable display tech.
Samsung provided the rugged Galaxy Tab Active 3 tablet to French firefighters to help them in their digital transformation. The motive of this move is to facilitate the missions of firefighters by providing them with all the information about the buildings, in complete safety.
The Galaxy Tab Active 3 rugged tablet comes with IP68 rating, making it resistant to water and dust alongside the military certification MIL-STD 810H to withstand the harshest environments. Besides falls from 1.5m height, the tablet is tested in extreme conditions (humidity, vibration, altitude, freezing, thawing, etc.).
Interestingly, firefighters can keep their gloves on when using the device, by activating the “Gloves” mode, to remain operational in complete safety. Thanks to the Google ARCore certification, Samsung’s rugged tablets make it possible to integrate virtual elements into the real working environment.
Moreover, the Batifire application is integrated with the camera and autofocus feature, due to which firefighters benefit from advanced scanning functionalities while having the possibility of scanning QR codes at the entrance to buildings.
Knox Suite is an all-in-one solution, designed for enterprise mobility. It makes it possible to efficiently secure, deploy and manage the fleet of devices throughout their life cycle. This set of solutions is designed to make life easier for IT administrators.
This solution makes it possible to automate and secure the deployment of all terminals on a daily basis, to carry out maintenance thanks to the feedback of relevant information on the use of batteries or business applications or even to take control, remotely, on the system updates through the Knox platform.
These hardened tablets perfectly meet the security challenges of Ain firefighters in terms of data protection and synchronization. Knox ensures that confidential and sensitive data stays safe. All devices are protected at every level, with data isolated and encrypted in real-time.

Samsung introduced the first UWB (Ultra Wideband) based short-range wireless communication chipset – Exynos Connect U100. With this product, the company also unveiled the Exynos Connect brand.
The Exynos Connect brand includes semiconductors based on UWB, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, and strengthens its competitiveness in the wireless communications semiconductor business in preparation for the advent of a hyper-connected society.
Samsung Exynos Connect U100 chip executes a power mode optimized for each operation and is suitable for IoT devices such as mobile devices, electric vehicles, and tags that require long-term operation with low-capacity batteries.
UWB is a short-range wireless communication technology that can transmit large amounts of information quickly with low power over a wide frequency band. It can accurately measure the distance and position between devices within a few centimeters, making it suitable for various fields such as smart keys, smart homes, and smart factories. It is the center of attention.
Samsung Exynos Connnect U100
Samsung Exynos Connect U100 combines RF (radio frequency), eFlash (embedded flash memory) memory, and power management IP (intellectual property) into a single chip, so it can be easily implemented on small devices.
It is equipped with STS (Scrambled Time Stamp Sequence) function to prevent external hacking during communication and is equipped with a secure hardware encryption engine, so it has excellent security performance.
Furthermore, by implementing the Time of Arrival (ToA) and Angle of Arrival (AoA) functions, accurate distance/position measurement and direction detection is possible even in complex environments.
In this way, even when GPS is difficult to use, accurate positioning can be performed within a few centimeters and within a range of less than 5°, enabling position tracking, and virtual reality (VR) or can be applied to augmented reality measurements.
Moreover, it supports the Digital Key Release 3.0 standard of Car Connectivity Consortium which stores the vehicle’s digital key value and shares user authentication.
According to Joonsuk Kim, Executive Vice President of the Connectivity Development Team at Samsung Electronics:
“Our Exynos Connect U100 combines sophisticated ranging and positioning capabilities with strong security to enable hyper-connectivity between people and everyday objects, fueling a range of new applications in positioning and location tracking. Building on our technology leadership in communications technologies, we are committed to driving innovation in short-range communication solutions to transform the way we connect and relate to the world around us.”
