LG Display has unveiled the world’s first 12-inch high-resolution display which is capable to stretch by up to 20 per cent and is equipped with outstanding free-form technology that enables it to be extended, folded and twisted without distortion or damage.
The new display further offers a resolution of 100ppi (pixels per inch), full-colour RGB, durability, reliability and high flexibility, maximising the potential for commercialisation, as per the official report from LG.
This 12-inch display, which is based on a highly resilient film-type substrate made of specialised silicon used in contact lenses, has a rubber band-like flexibility that enables it to be stretched up to 14 inches.
According to the company, LG Display’s Stretchable display is the result of a large-scale national R&D project the company was selected to lead by South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) in 2020.
