This channel has been uploaded vids of these screens for 8 months now. Is there some more tangible info on how these came about?
I don't think you can diy this in a garage?
Their description reads
I made a moving digital card of Blue Archive Mika using two flexible OLED displays.
As a bonus, I made it possible to switch between the ones I made in the past. Prototype
One commenter says you can buy these kinds of displays on Amazon. Another responds AliExpress. Another reply says
650 USD for just one display. Did I read that right?
So they're not exactly inexpensive. Which is, of course, not unexpected, given it's a new kind of product, relatively recent tech.
Found them on amazon holy shit.
You’d think something like this would be major tech news, people have been talking about this tech for ages and a consensus for many is that it wasn’t impossible. (Look at all the crap foldable phones)
It’s objectively not cheap but it’s not expensive for such revolutionary tech.
I'm not sure what you mean. Flexible OLED displays have been around for a while and foldable devices are just an example of the technology in use, but we've had them in consumer products way before that (phones with curved edge displays, for example). The potential for flexibility has always been intrinsic to OLED displays because they don't need a backlight. The reason our phones don't bend and flex like the "device" in the video isn't because of the display, but because the battery, processors, ram, speakers, ports and all other components are not flexible and won't be for a while. The device in the video does not include those, there is a ribbon cable coming out of the bottom connecting the two screens to the actual hardware.
I had no idea and i thought i was relatively up to date with new gen technology. I thought the foldable phones that came out where more an experimental proof of concept of the first instance of such technology but not that whole flexible panels where possible.
Even just the fact an oled display can be this thin is completely new to me.
Only 250 €? That's not expensive/overpriced for the product. And far from the 700$ mentioned by a comment.
When I looked on DE Amazon I didn't find any.
Good luck with overpriced shipping :) but still for something i though was not yet possible its shockingly accessible.

Maybe just good AR and not real?
Without additional information that seems more likely but its at least portrayed here as a real display.
It would still be a very interesting idea to rather make everything a display make everything a zero energy AR surface but then we need convenient mainstream AR wearables.
