What is flexible OLED?

Such types of display panels rely upon an adaptable plastic substrate on which an optical material (to emit light) layered. This lets the device easily bend, roll, or work while operating. It also helps in making the phone lightweight and durable.

Note that Huawei uses a flexible OLED screen for its flagship handsets whereas the normal or LCD for low-end phones. It seems there are plenty of new and premium-level phones in the pipeline that Huawei will gradually unveil on the stage.
