Royole introduces resilient micro-LED displays that can bend and stretch. They are based on micro-LED technology. Royole says the screens will be suitable for use in health and fitness, sports and fashion, and transportation.
According to official figures, elastic displays can be stretched 130% and bent up to 40 degrees. They can also transmit 70% of the light. This is much more than transparent OLED panels, for example, LG’s transparent TV only allows 40% of light to pass through. At the same time, such panels can have a pixel density of up to 120 pixels per inch, which is comparable to typical laptops.

To demonstrate the technology, a 2.7-inch expandable panel with a resolution of 96 x 60 pixels was created. The micro-LED is smaller than OLED and the distance between individual pixels is increased. This allows for stretchable material to be used between pixels, as well as letting the panels in more light.
Royole believes that displays based on this technology can be produced on existing production lines that produce foldable smartphone screens, which will help to rapidly expand production capacity.
This is a new milestone for Royole, which developed the world’s thinnest full color fully flexible display in 2014 and introduced the first commercial smartphone with such a screen in 2018.
