Samsung stretchable OLED display looks like the future of wearables

While all of us are muddling out way through 2021, Samsung is out here living in the year 2050 with its new stretchable display technology. Unlike folding or rollable screens, these free-form displays can be “stretched in all directions like rubber bands to change their shapes,” making for some seriously sci-fi applications.  

Samsung posted news of the work its researchers have been doing on its blog, saying that now the “establishment of flexible displays [is] behind us,” the next frontier is stretchy displays that allow for “both high-resolution visuals and portability” simultaneously.

Researchers at the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) managed to create a device that combines a stretchable organic LED (OLED) display and photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor which measures and displays the wearer’s heart rate in real time. You can check out this “stretchable electronic skin” form factor, as Samsung dubs it, in the images above.
