LG introduced stretchable display, it can be stretched like rubber and can be expanded from 12-inch to 18-inch!

If you think that foldable display is the latest and most advanced display technology right now, then you should know about LG’s latest prototype. The company has introduced the world’s first stretchable display, which can stretch 50% of its size. The display shown by the company comes in a size of 12-inches and can be stretched to 18-inches. The most impressive thing is that even after expanding so much, it is able to maintain a high resolution of 100 pixels per inch and full RGB color. If it is released after being fully expanded, the display returns to its original size (12-inch) without any damage. LG has given a new twist to the definition of flexible display by introducing its latest stretchable display prototype to the world, which comes in a size of 12-inches, but it can be expanded up to 50 percent, which means that it can be stretched to 18-inches. The company says that the display maintains a high resolution of 100 pixels per inch even when stretched to full capacity. Apart from this, it is capable of showing full RGB color at its maximum stretch.

LG Display has described it as the company’s “ultimate display technology”. Currently, the definition of flexible display in the market is one or maximum two foldable displays, which we have seen in existing foldable smartphones. However, enlarging the display by stretching like rubber is a revolution in many ways. LG Display says that it can be used in various industries including “fashion, wearables, mobility and gaming”. According to the company, it can also find a place in the automobile and aviation industry.

LG Display initially showed this display technology in 2020, when it was only stretchable by 20 percent. At that time the company had said that the quality of the panel is similar to that of a 40-inch 4K TV equipped with 100ppi pixel density.

LG Display claims that the prototype can withstand repeated stretching up to 10,000 times. Apart from this, the display uses a micro-LED light source measuring only 40 micrometers. It is also said to be able to withstand extreme temperatures or external shock etc. LG Display says that the display is built on a special silicon substrate which is also used for contact lenses. It has micro-LEDs that are connected via S-shaped springs instead of direct wires so that they can stretch up to 50 percent without breaking.
