The news emerged after the statement made ??by Kwon Oh-hyun, Vice Chairman of Samsung - “huge orders from electronics makers for it futuristic lineup of flexible organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays.” Also, the launch by the end of year for Galaxy Skin can lead us to think that Samsung can be his own client.
