Samsung often faces criticism that it innovates its mobile phones and tablets only cautiously and avoids major technological leaps. However, the opposite is true. Revolutionary products are created in its laboratories that no other manufacturers offer, and which often look like the technology of the future. For example, Samsung has now boasted in the journal Nature of a special 2D/3D display for mobile phones and tablets, which will be able to switch between individual modes. And 3D variaIt will be usable even without special glasses.
It is not very likely that we would have a special 2D/3D displays they've already seen it this year or next year, but still Samsung is really playing with the idea of its wider use. This is a revolutionary technology that at first glance looks like a classic display. When the user wants to watch a 3D movie or work on a spatial project, the display should automatically switch to 3D and literally start bending light.
What's fascinating is that in its normal 2D state, it offers high resolution, a clear image, and feels like a modern flagship screen. However, the polarizing layer used has the ability to to transform the light field and thus add depth to the image. And Samsung went even further.
The viewing angle shifts up to 100 degrees and the perspective changes depending on the position of the observer. In other words, the 3D effect is visible from a direct view and from the side. And that without the need to wear special 3D glassesFor example, a 3D movie can be watched by multiple people on a mobile device without anyone missing out on the immersive experience.

The technology of the future
The magic of it all lies in the so-called metalens, That is ultrathin metalenses that replace curved lenses and manipulate light using nanostructures. Samsung has been developing them for a long time in collaboration with the university Postech and the result should be not only the possibility of refraction of light into 3D, but also revolutionary thinning of camerasThe metalens used in this display are only 1.5 mm thick. 1,2 mm, so they can be used in conventional displays without having to significantly interfere with the structure of the OLED panels themselves.
The possibilities for use are wide. The South Korean giant boasts that it could be a new type of display for mobiles Galaxy, tablets Galaxy Tab the pros commercial displays. In the future, they could even make their way to premium TVs. And at the same time, it is a crucial technology for XR furnishedthat are directly based on 3D. However, it is not clear when we could expect a similar revolution.
