Yes, you heard that right.
According to LG Display, “Stretchable displays…can be freely stretched, folded, and twisted.”
The folding and even twisting part is not that remarkable.
Stretching, however, that’s something different.
That’s something I’ve never seen before.
But how?
LG Display explained to me that these stretchy displays are high-resolution active matrix micro-LED screens.
It gives them, they claim, an almost rubberband-like stretchability.
These stretchable screens could also last a while, with promised support for more than 10,000 form changes.
That may be so, but the full-RGB displays only support 100 ppi.
That’s less than a quarter of the resolution you might get on your standardbest iPhone.
Will you be wearing a battery-powered dress?
LG, by the way, is not alone in the stretchable display quest.
Earlier this year, we stumbled uponan Apple patentthat outlined stretchy displays for things like anApple Watchand MacBooks.
Of course, that’s just a patent that may never see the light of day.
LG Display’s stretchable displays are already adorning shirts and bags.
