LG has unveiled a new stretchable display that can expand by 50%, transforming from a 12-inch to an 18-inch screen. This durable display, featuring a micro-LED light source, can be stretched over 10,000 times without damage. With a 100 ppi resolution, it offers potential applications in industries like fashion, wearables, and mobility, though it's currently a prototype. LG envisions its use in dynamic interfaces, such as automotive displays, but there's no timeline for commercial availability.
Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a highly flexible and stretchable digital display material that emits a fluorescent pattern, with potential applications in wearable electronics, health sensors, and foldable computer screens. The material can bend in half and stretch to more than twice its original length while still emitting a clear image. The researchers combined knowledge from various fields to create a new class of material that integrates stretchable polymers and thermally activated delayed fluorescence, allowing for highly efficient light emission. The team is working on further developments, including additional colors and improved efficiency and performance.
