There is something in my eye

LG Display has shown off a thin, lightweight, stretchable, and twistable micro-LED screen which is made from the same silicon material as contact lenses.

The tech was developed by South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) which wanted to boost the nation's electronics industry.

It is capable of a full color RGB, 100ppi resolution screen which is stretched from 12 to 14 inches. Micro-LEDs sized at 40 micrometers or smaller over a spring-like system of circuits allow the screens to be twisted and stretched without permanent distortion. The display resembles a heavy plastic wrapping.

LG said that the plastic is easily attachable to curved surfaces such as skin, clothing, furniture, automobiles, and aircraft, this unique innovation expands the potential of the display in various industries including fashion, wearables, mobility and gaming.
