LG's new stretchable display can grow by 50%, bendy panels can be deformed into new form factors

www.tomshardware.com LG's new stretchable display can grow by 50%, bendy panels can be deformed into new form factors

This stretchable display unlocks an infinite number of possibilities.

This stretchable technology goes beyond expanding its size, though, as you can freely twist, extrude, and fold it without damaging the screen.

Those look pretty cool, Im not sure where I would use it yet, but I'm sure they will end up being useful for various things. A lot of displays in dashboard look displeasing to the eye to me, I'm sure curving screens could help with that. I foresee many a dick joke being made with them as well. (Couldn't help myself)
- You aren't thinking corporate profit centric uses...
  We can put these on clothing so people can sell their personal ad space to companies!
  Look at me, I am the billboard now!
  
  Don't we already do that when we buy branded ANYTHING? Hell, most people pay MORE for certain brands instead of less because you're literally advertising for that brand.
  
  Haha kind of, depends on the individual! Most of my clothes don't have a visible label these days.
  
  Oh, so close. We can put these on clothing so we can sell ad space to companies while you pay extra for the privilege.
  
  Damn you got me!
- I'm waiting for a screen/phone I can use like those wrist bracelets you slap on when you were younger and then take off and extend to be a phone and maybe extend so far to be a tablet.
- Couldn't they just use our existing curved screen technology that we see on gaming and work station monitors? The real innovation here is being stretchy and moldable and i doubt those features are needed for a dashboard.
- Malls could use this screens around columns. It would probably make those phones’ edges easier to make. Foldable screens could benefit from this too. As you said dashboards in cars would be prettier. Since they’re malleable, it would probably be easier to make curved displays. Your watch could display information around your wrist. Fashion people could even use this thing around necks and wrists. I don’t know, I could think many industries could use this.
  
  Sit down to read a book, stretch your phone screen out to a comfortable holding size to read. Could be nice.
- Randomly stretched screen would be even more displeasing to eyes I guess.
  I wonder if it can make regular screens more abuse-proof.
