Intel and Samsung show off a fun but impractical 'slidable' PC

<p>In between a few expected annoucements (https://www.engadget.com/intel-13th-gen-cpus-raptor-lake-162054801.html), Intel found time to share a surprise at its Innovation 2022 conference. After Samsung Display CEO JS Choi joined him on stage, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger showed off a concept “slidable” PC that featured an extendable OLED screen. By pulling on the edge of the prototype, Gelsinger made its 13-inch display turn into a 17-inch one. Put another way, the prototype went from being about the size of a large tablet like the iPad Pro to a small monitor.</p><div id="99fa8ffa8a0c4539b0127bcd0ae2ee06"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">This looks great… #Samsung (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Samsung?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) shows off its slidable display at Intel Innovation event pic.twitter.com/VPIx71eoEY (https://t.co/VPIx71eoEY)</p>— Mathures Paul (@MathuresP) September 27, 2022 (https://twitter.com/MathuresP/status/1574813108526120960?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)</div><p>“We’re announcing the world’s first 17-inch slidable display for PCs,” Choi told the audience. “This device will satisfy various needs for a larger screen and portability as well.” Samsung Display has been working on slidable OLED displays for a few years. The company showed off a prototype last year (https://thenextweb.com/news/samsung-unveils-foldable-slidable-oled-displays-smartphones-tablets). Gelsinger called the concept PC a demonstration of what is possible to do with OLED display technology and a flexible plastic substrate. However, don’t expect the device he showed off to make it to market anytime soon, if at all.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span>
