The biggest Korean hi-tech device supplier, Samsung to provide OLED screens for consumer version of Google Glass, Good news for Samsung today because Google has agreed to use their OLED screens for the consumer version of Google Glass. Korean tech device supplier Samsung has been going toe to toe with LG lately, but LG has been leading the way.

"Samsung will supply its high-end OLED screens for Google Glass. This is a really big thing because its means that Google shares confidential data with Samsung on its futuristic projects," said an executive at one of Samsung Display's local parts suppliers.

According to Korean Times, This deal will no doubt strengthen Samsung's OLED business. Samsung Display CEO Kim Ki-nam said, "OLED on silicon may be used for glasses-type, augmented-reality devices much like the Google Glass. The wearable market will be a major beneficiary of the free-form factor advantage of flexible OLEDs.

Smartphone-linked wearable accessory products such as watches and health bands will use ultra-thin flexible OLEDs embedded with various sensors."Of course the next generation of OLEDs will be flexible and unbreakable, but LG seems to have a leg up in that department.
