LG Display has achieved a significant milestone in display technology with the introduction of the world's first stretchable display capable of expanding up to 50%. This innovative screen, unveiled at LG Science Park in Seoul, represents a major leap forward in free-form display technology.
Key Features
12-inch screen expandable to 18 inches
High resolution of 100 pixels per inch (ppi)
Full RGB color support
Durability to withstand over 10,000 stretches
Technological Advancements
The new prototype showcases remarkable improvements over its 2022 predecessor, which could only stretch by 20%. LG Display achieved this breakthrough by enhancing the properties of a specialized silicon substrate similar to that used in contact lenses.
They also developed a new wiring design to minimize physical stress during stretching,
as well as utilising micro-LED light sources up to 40 micro metres in size for improved durability
Potential Applications
The stretchable display's versatility opens up numerous possibilities across various industries:
Fashion and wearables: Integrating displays into clothing and accessories
Automotive: Creating adaptive, tactile control panels
Emergency services: Providing real-time information on firefighters' uniforms
Industry Impact
This development is part of a larger national project involving 19 domestic industry and research institutes. By successfully completing this project, LG Display has secured core technologies for the next-generation display market.
