LG has debuted a new form of stretchable display panel.
Every so often, major tech companies unveil something truly groundbreaking – and LG may have struck innovation gold with its latest display announcement.
LG Display, the panel-producing sister company to LG Electronics, has lifted the lid on what it’s calling “the world’s first 12-inch high-resolution stretchable display” – a panel that can be deformed by up to 20% of its original size and shape without suffering any damage.
Yes, you read that right: LG has made a stretchable display. And not just ‘stretchable’ in the marketing sense, either. This is a micro-LED display (not OLED, interestingly) that can be extended, folded and twisted in the same way as a bendy high school ruler – all while maintaining its full-color RGB properties and 100ppi resolution.
LG says its new display is “thin, lightweight and easily attachable to curved surfaces such as skin, clothing, furniture, automobiles and aircraft.
