It appears that we are closer to the future than we first believed. Display technology is the next to experience a significant advancement as the globe migrates to more potent smartphones and other gadgets. While folding phones and other devices are already a reality, truly stretchable screens have been an elusive dream until now. Last week, LG unveiled its 12-inch flexible screen prototype in Seoul.
The majority of the display is constructed utilizing free-form technology, which enables it to be bent, folded, and twisted without deforming or being harmed. A very robust film-type substrate constructed of specialized silicon that is utilized in contact lenses serves as the display’s foundation. Its ability to be expanded from a 12-inch screen to a 14-inch one is bizarre.
A micro-LED light source with a pixel pitch of less than 40 micro-metres is used in the Stretchable display, guaranteeing a high level of resilience to endure severe external impact. The Stretchable display’s flexible S-form spring wired system has an ideal structure that can withstand repeated changes to its form, unlike the typical linear wired system, giving it its special stretching capabilities. This type of technology has countless uses. These screens can be layered on items like clothing, furniture, and other surfaces that can support a display.
Soo-young Yoon, Executive Vice President and CTO at LG Display stated, “We will successfully complete this project to enhance the competitiveness of Korean display technology while continuing to lead the industry’s paradigm shift.”.
Stretchable screens have been attempted by a number of businesses, but this does appear to be the appropriate direction for display technology. Consider it the first volume of a product that will be improved over time.
