LG First High-Resolution Stretchable Display
LG just revealed the world’s first high-resolution stretchable display that can not only be twisted without distortion, but also extended and folded. This 12-inch panel is the industry’s first to achieve 20% stretchability, a resolution of 100ppi, and full-color RGB, thus maximizing its potential for commercialization.

In other words, this 12-inch display can be extended to 14-inches, thanks to an ultra elastic film-type substrate manufactured from special silicon typically used in contact lenses, thus giving it a rubber band-like flexibility. It utilizes 40μm or smaller-size light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as the light source, allowing the display to maintain its high-quality images even under distress. Then there’s this smart plastic, which can transition from stretchy soft to hard in visible light.
