According to LG, the Stretchable display is constructed on a unique silicon substrate also utilised in contact lenses. 
The LG Stretchable display has a wide range of applications. 
Earlier, Royole has publicly displayed a stretchy 2.7-inch display. Samsung, a competitor of LG, unveiled a flexible display in 2017.

The most recent announcement from LG Panel, dubbed Free-Form Displays, depicts a flexible 12-inch display that can be stretched, tugged, twisted, and bent without sustaining any physical damage in the future. Free-Form Screens from LG, in contrast to foldable displays on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 or others, will stretch and can be exposed to twists and bends without any problems.

LG Display has announced the development of a flexible display with a 12- to 14-inch size range. 20% greater stretching is possible. The cutting-edge display uses 100 pixel per inch resolution free-form technology (ppi). Built on a very sturdy film-type substrate made of special silicon used in contact lenses, this 12-inch display has a rubber band-like elasticity that allows it to be stretched up to 14 inches. The display's free-form design, according to the LG Display blog, offers a cutting-edge substitute to the existing foldable and rollable technologies.

Soo-young Yoon, Executive Vice President and CTO at LG Display, asserted, 'We will successfully execute this project to boost the competitiveness of Korean display technology while continuing to lead the industry's paradigm change.'

The Stretchable display uses a micro-LED light source with a pixel pitch of less than 40 um, which ensures a high level of durability to withstand significant external shocks and a resolution that competes with most modern monitors.

LG Display claims that the fashion, wearables, mobility, and gaming industries might all benefit from the use of this technology. The Stretchable display's cutting-edge technology delivers next-level versatility for a variety of daily applications in addition to its thin, lightweight form.

The display's potential is expanded by this original innovation in a variety of sectors, including fashion, wearables, mobility, and gaming. It may be quickly attached to curved surfaces, such as skin, clothing, furniture, cars, and aeroplanes.

According to LG, the display is constructed on a unique silicon substrate that is also employed in contact lenses. It has micro-LEDs that can extend 20% without breaking since they are joined by S-shaped springs rather than straight wires.

In 2020, the South Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy (MOTIE) chose the company to oversee a large-scale national research and development initiative, according to the corporation, which led to the Stretchable display.

A company by the name of Royole reportedly displayed a stretchy 2.7-inch display demo panel with a 96 x 60 pixels resolution last year, per GSMArena. Samsung first showed off a stretchy display in 2017, but it was largely just able to withstand deformation rather than expand.
