LG unveils world’s 1st high-resolution display that stretches by 20%

LG Display on Tuesday unveiled the world’s first 12-inch high-resolution display that can be stretched by 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 offers a resolution of 100ppi (pixels per inch), full-colour RGB, high flexibility, durability, and reliability, maximising its potential for commercialisation, according to an official report.

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.
