The prototype of a new micro LED display can be stretched by up to 50 per cent. Possible areas of application include cars, wearables and fashion.

The concept has been around since 2022, but LG's prototype at the time was only stretchable by 20 per cent. The new display manages 50 per cent and is designed to withstand at least 10,000 cycles. According to the manufacturer, it can also withstand shocks and temperature fluctuations.

The panel consists of 40 micrometre micro-LEDs with a pixel density of 100 pixels per inch (ppi) - a very high value for this technology. The RGB pixels can display a broad colour spectrum.

The stretchable display is thin and light. Another possible area of application is therefore clothing. The prototype was already on show at Seoul Fashion Week in September. LG collaborated with fashion designers who integrated the technology into various tops. [doNotTouch].

My fingerprint often changes so drastically that my MacBook doesn't recognise it anymore. The reason? If I'm not clinging to a monitor or camera, I'm probably clinging to a rockface by the tips of my fingers.
