LG Display Pioneers the Next Generation of Flexible Screens

As a tech enthusiast with a keen eye for innovation and a soft spot for gadgets that challenge the status quo, I find LG Display‘s stretchable screen to be absolutely mind-blowing! Having witnessed the evolution of technology from CRT monitors to flexible OLED screens, this latest development takes flexibility to a whole new level.


LG Display recently made a significant advancement in display technology by unveiling the world’s first stretchable screen, which has the ability to expand up to 50% from its initial size. This innovative screen was showcased at LG Science Park in Seoul this month and can be manipulated by twisting, pulling, or folding without losing functionality.

This 12-inch display can be expanded up to a size of 18 inches while maintaining high-definition clarity with 100 pixels per inch and full RGB color. It’s constructed using a silicone substrate and a micro-LED light source (40 micrometers), making it capable of enduring over 10,000 stretches and handling harsh conditions. Compared to LG’s 2022 prototype, this model increases the elongation capacity from 20% to an impressive 50%. Its flexibility and durability are due to a cutting-edge wiring design that reduces stress, making it perfect for incorporating into various surfaces, including curved and non-standard shapes.

LG Display showcased various potential uses, such as wearable screens for firefighter outfits delivering live information and auto screens that can conform to rounded shapes. Additionally, the lightweight nature of the display opens up prospects for its integration into smart garments and fabrics.

Although LG Display’s flexible screen is still in the developmental stage, this milestone highlights their dedication to pushing the limits and innovating within the realm of display technology.
