LG Introduces a Fully Flexible and Stretchable Display: What Is It For?
Although LG has stopped making mobile phones, it has not stopped developing spare parts for other giant companies to make its own phones. The company has devoted itself more to developing new technologies such as the one it has just presented: a new fully stretchable and flexible screen.
This isn’t the first time LG has designed a display that’s more flexible than a foldable one. We already saw the foldable display they introduced a few years ago. Now, the company has unveiled a stretchable display that you can almost manipulate like jelly. Its flexibility is truly amazing, but will it be useful?
Perhaps the most bizarre new technology for device displays is foldable devices. The fact is that this new technology was created in collaboration with other research teams, and allows for distortion of up to 20% without compromising its functionality.
This new stretchable display from LG can adapt to different situations where flexible technology is useful. For example, in the medical field, it could be integrated into wearable devices that stick to the body, monitoring vital signs more comfortably and accurately.
In fact, LG's goal with this novelty is to offer a screen that maintains its visual quality while adapting to different shapes and situations. To do this, it has been designed with a flexible material similar to the silicone used in human skin, giving it a flexibility reminiscent of a rubber band.
According to LG, the development of this type of display opens up possibilities in areas such as fashion, health and consumer technology, where devices and displays can be integrated more naturally and comfortably.

In the fashion sector, the display could be used in smart clothing that displays personal information or in accessories such as bracelets that adapt their shape to the user. Also in vehicles and public spaces, it could be placed on irregular or curved surfaces, providing an immersive display of maps or interactive information.
This diversity of adaptation will allow technology to be present in more areas of daily life, changing the way we interact with visual information.
