The latest version of the concept display is similar to theone LG unveiled in 2022.
Like OLED, this display bang out allows for its self-emitting glow without any kind of backlight.
The Laffy Taffy screen uses a special silicon material substrate, according to LG.

LG said it can be folded and stretched over 10,000 times and still maintain a clear image.
That doesnt necessarily mean it will survive rough usage.
Well be excited to see if LG ever presents it in the wild.

As it stands, we dont assume the material will be good for mobile devices.
Whats the point of a super-malleable display?
LG says this is practical for irregular and curved surfaces.
LG suggested it could be attached to clothing, like a firefighters uniform for real-time information.
But Im imagining wed see people become walking billboards to fill streets with even more ads.
LG is also the companyworking on transparent OLEDs, but flexible screens may have more applications beyond sheer novelty.
Samsungs micro-LEDs of the flat panel variety currently only come in 89, 101, and 114 inches.
The largest one goes for $150,000.
More than likely, these stretchable screens wont be available in any user-end product for some time.
Personally, I much prefer physical controls for my car, and Im not alone.
Last year, Volkswagen learned that lesson the hard way and hasreintroduced physical controls into its next-gen cars.
This came after years of promoting all-touchscreen interiors, to many users chagrin.
