New Delhi: LG Display has announced to develop a stretchable display that can be stretched from 12-inch to 14-inch in size. It is stretchable up to 20%. The state-of-the-art display sports 100 pixels per inch (ppi) resolution and free-form technology. Based on a highly resilient film-type substrate made of special silicon used in contact lenses, this 12-inch display boasts a rubber band-like flexibility that allows it to be stretched up to 14 inches. The display’s free-form nature offers a cutting-edge solution surpassing the existing foldable and rollable technology, according to the LG Display blog.
