South Korean manufacturer LG has unveiled the world's first-ever flexible and stretchable high-resolution display. It offers unique elastic properties, paving the way for many potential applications in fashion or entertainment.

This initial prototype presented is 12in in size and is equipped with unique technology that allows it to be stretched, twisted and bent at will, without damaging the display and without causing any distortion to the image. The screen is based on a substrate made from a special silicon, which is usually used in the manufacture of contact lenses. In fact, it is relatively elastic and can be stretched up to 14in.
