LG Display develops stretchable display that can stretch by 50% (Korea)

LG Display, a major display manufacturer, held a "Final Results Sharing Meeting for the National Policy on Stretchable Display Development" and announced the results of its development over the past five years.
The company unveiled the world's first stretchable display, which can stretch the screen by up to 50%. The product is usually 12 inches, but can stretch to 18 inches. The resolution is 1
It achieves full RGB color at 1000ppi (pixels per inch). The stretch rate of the prototype first unveiled in 2022 was 20%, but this is expected to more than double to 50%.
In 2020, LG Display was selected as the lead company for the international project on stretchable display development, and has been working on joint development with 19 industry and academic institutions.
LG Display is improving the characteristics of its substrates, which are made of a special silicon material used in contact lenses, and developing new wiring designs and other new technologies to improve flexibility, thereby meeting the national policy.
The project goal was achieved. It was able to withstand repeated stretching more than 10,000 times without any problems, and it used micro LEDs of less than 40 micrometers to withstand stressful environments such as high temperature and impact.
"Through close cooperation with domestic industry and academia, we will work to build a sustainable ecosystem for next-generation displays," said Yoon Suyeong, CTO of the company.
