Samsung has been working on bendable screens for smartphones over the past few years, but the company is now promising that display technology will be ready to arrive in real products starting next year.

At Samsung’s Investor Forum in New York, the company revealed these displays will be so bendable that they can actually fold in half, according to ZDNet.

Specifically, Samsung says it will be making between 30,000 and 40,000 flexible displays per month by the end of 2015. The first device to use this bendable technology will launch by the end of next year, but Samsung says that “nothing has been decided on the finished product.”
