LG Display seeks to develop stretchable display by 2024

SEOUL, June 11 (Yonhap) -- LG Display Co., a South Korean display panel maker, said Thursday it aims to develop stretchable displays by 2024 as it was named to lead a national R&D project on the high-end technology.

In cooperation with more than 20 companies, institutions and universities, LG Display will develop a display product that can be stretched by up to 20 percent.
