The company also imagines the tablet showing off 3D images through the use of an augmented-reality system.
Youm, are Samsung’s thin, next-generation screens, which are so malleable they can be bent like a paper card. Samsung claims that the bendable cards are unbreakable (uncrackable).

Flexible Super AMOLED, and now known as YOUM (trademark name), consists of four layers of material: the AMOLED display cells are encased in two pieces of film, and a polariser (probably housing the multi-touch sensor) on top of it.

LG only last week revealed that it has started mass production of what it called the "world's first" plastic electronic paper display.
