[
THE INVESTOR] Samsung Display said on May 22 it will showcase the world’s first “stretchable” panel during a US tech fair this week.
The Korean tech firm said the stretchable OLED display is unique since it can bend in both directions, while previous flexible panels could only bend in one direction.
The display will be showcased at the SID 2017 hosted by the Society for Information Display, which will run from May 23-25 in Los Angeles.
Industry watchers said the stretchable display calls for more complicated technology than any other displays in the market, and can be considered the ultimate product in flexible technology.
The company said its display can stretch as much as 12 millimeters when pressed, and yet still maintains a high degree of resolution.
