LG is pushing the future of flexible displays with a new prototype that stretches up to 50% beyond its original size. The screen starts at 12 inches and stretches to 18 inches, but its 100 ppi pixel density lags behind modern smartphones.

LG is supposing the future will be full of such flexible displays, and its latest rendition of the concept screen is capable of stretching up to 50% of its normal length, mainly thanks to the same material used in contact lenses.

LG has developed an industry-first stretchable screen that bends, twists, and stretches out like taffy, from 12 inches to 18 inches. The screen is just a prototype, but it could have useful applications for wearables,

LG Display has created a digital screen capable of expanding up to 50 per cent that can also be twisted into various shapes

LG Display has recently announced a new version of its unique stretchable display with improved elasticity and durability. The 12-inch prototype can now be stretched up to 18 inches without being destroyed in the process,

Potential real-world applications include automotive panels and wearable displays for firefighters. Imagine this: pulling a 12-inch screen out and casually stretching it to become an even larger display whenever you need it.

LG Display has unveiled a further innovation in screen technology in the form of a new flexible, stretchable colour display

LG's prototype technology lets you bend, shape, and curve your display into almost any shape - as well as adhere to irregular surfaces like clothing and skin.

Dubbed the Free-Form display, this technology from LG allows the screen to be moulded into a variety of shapes, including stretching, folding, and twisting, making it one of the most versatile display

LG Display has previously released a stretchable display with a 20% elongation rate. However, the newest release could extend up to 50%.
