This should come in useful when I need to seal up a jar with my telephone screen.

This could be useful to make a room multi functional without having to buy a projector or motorized screen.

Calling it a “display” seems a bit misleading wrt. how people would generally use that word.

But yeah, nice concept.

If durablr, Stretchable screens would allow us to remove the crease on foldables.

Stretch when storing, rather than creasing.

Or rather, have this tech evolve to the point where the stretch allows the display to increase from 6" to 9-10" ... where it essentually goes from phone to tablet without any folding or creasing at all.

The display industry right now seems to be full of solutions with no problem. I don't really want a flexible, stretchy display, tbh.

So why not just make it 14”? Is LG having a midlife crisis and screen size issues? “It’s 14”!!! Honest!!! Measure again!!!!”

This just makes me think of BO2 where Mason has the one device on his forearm and can do a ton with it throughout the campaign (and multiplayer if I remember right?) Seems fitting since 2025 is getting pretty close.

So like, I get what you are saying but check this. There are two main types of OLED displays that I use for repairs. Hard and Soft. I hate using hard OLED displays because they break really easily even if the top layer of glass isn't broken. A soft OLED is far less likely to break, even when the top glass is damaged. A flexible and stretchable display like this could mean that your display won't break at all, even if the glass does, so you can still see your screen and use it after it is cracked.

Damn! That’s so awesome and why! But why though? Why does it need to be stretched so much?

This means it is a 14” screen but due to shrinkage it is 12”. My husband should have these problems!

You don't want a display that you can't break? Or one you can add to surfaces that are not flat, projector screens, tablet that unrolls, smaller phones, and many other things.

Or to include buttons underneath the screen that you actually press. Maybe an actuated grid under the screen so that the "buttons" can move to where the info on the screen is. Like imagine touchscreens in cars where you can actually feel buttons without looking.

12” stretched to 14” is a 16.7% stretch not 20%.

Clothes and textiles are going to be the major use case. I’m already seeing a huge amount of backpacks and hard cloth patches with screens in it. This will make it the cloth doesn’t have to be hard and flow easily. This is very cool.

If it can stretch, it would likely be quite damage proof if it can just flex instead of rip or crack.

As long as we can deal with scratches, phones would no longer get cracked screens.

I'm as close to an apple hater without being a hater as you can get but I'm actually really excited to see what apple has to offer for ar/vr glasses. They tend to make user experience very good on their products, even if they have very anti consumer policies, and that's what vr seems to be missing

proxyproxyomega t1_ivlg91p wrote

Replying to yashdes (#476,541)

what makes Apple interesting to keep on eye for AR is that they are on the right track to make it happen. for example, the lidar used for FaceID and iPhone Pro will be used to track the surroundings with accuracy. their development of tiny batteries in AirPod and Watch help make the glasses lighter. custome SoC will allow it to be fast while energy efficient. this is their biggest advantage over other companies.

the only thing that we haven't seen is the transparent lens. there hasn't been any convincing HUD capable display in the market... even Microsoft's Hololens. creating a display that is transparent but provides high contrast even in daylight will be their biggest challenge.

This isn't a product, this is a tech demo. This could very well be the tech that makes foldable phones nice to use rather than watching a crease down a video. Or maybe even a smart bracelet rather than a smart watch. Smart watches are okay and all but their utility is limited due to their size. A smart bracelet could quite easily be 4 or 5 inches wide and wrap around the whole wrist, allowing for a whole variety of applications that are impossible on a smart watch and impractical on a smart phone.

Edit: Or even smart gloves.

Because stretchable screens could eventually mean things like decent foldable phones, smart braclets, smart gloves, or even smaller things like being able to embed screens into fabrics for clothes, curtains or sofas. All things that need flexibility that current screen tech currently cannot do.

Rolling up a 9 inch phone to the size of an escobar vape and slipping it in your pocket would be so satisfying. The other thing I'm thinking is this could be great for AR tech. I want 3d holograms on glasses yesterday. Can't wait to evolve past looking down at your phone.
