LG Display always makes breakthroughs in display technology. LG Displays has successfully developed LCD, OLED, and flexible displays, significantly changing the industry.
LG has revealed its latest project, dubbed the “world’s first” stretchable display, which allows high-resolution displays to be rolled up and utilized as a phone screen. LG says that when the display is rolled up and taken out, it will be less than half its original size but is still capable of displaying a high-res display.
LG Display announced the first 12-inch high-resolution display in the world that can be stretched by 20% on Tuesday. It features remarkable free-form technology that can be extended, folded, and twisted without distortion or harm. The screen’s exceptional resilience is demonstrated by its ability to survive up to 10,000 repeated alterations in its shape.
To advance the country’s next-generation display industry, LG has been collaborating with twenty organizations in the industrial and academic sectors in South Korea. LG Display’s stretchable display results from considerable research and development. LG Display is confident that this technology can create a new category of flexible displays.
The flexible display will be a gadget that is not limited to smartphones, tablets, and laptops but can also be applied to wearable devices like smartwatches and smart glasses, which have huge demand from tech enthusiasts.
LG Display is taking advantage of the new ICT (information communication technology) era by applying the most advanced display technologies to highly demanded products in a rapidly changing world.
By combining the world’s first high-resolution display with its excellent performance and durability in flexible forms, LG Display will emphasize developing future potential and modeling tomorrow’s smartphone designs.
Soo-young Yoon, Executive Vice President and CTO at LG Display, said in a statement, “We will successfully complete this project to enhance the competitiveness of Korean display technology while continuing to lead the industry’s paradigm shift,”
This 12-inch display, built on a very flexible film-type substrate composed of specialized silicon used in contact lenses, has a rubber band-like flexibility that allows it to be stretched up to 14 inches. The stretchy display’s cutting-edge technology delivers next-level versatility for various everyday applications.
It has a slim, lightweight design.
It may also be readily attached to curved surfaces, including skin, clothing, furniture, cars, and airplanes. According to the research, this unique innovation expands the display’s potential in several sectors, including fashion, wearable technology, mobility, and gaming.
There is no news on when the display will come to the markets, but hopefully, we will see the display in the coming year or so. Many companies have been making advancements in display technology, but this is certainly a new concept that might change how we use our electronic devices.
But when the display launches, it will be fascinating to see what kinds of smartphones or other gadgets can come with this flexible display. Everyone is waiting for the launch of this display in the markets.
The display will surely raise big expectations for technology in all sectors. The applications can be various. If everything goes right, there is no reason why this technology cannot help a lot of people in the future.
