Research team over at ULCA were able to create an OLED that can stretch, this is the first of its kind, manufacturers in the past have been able to make bendable ones, but never stretch
why is this good?
"Stretchable electronics promise video displays that could be rolled up and tucked into a shirt pocket, or cell phones that could swell or shrink. Electronic sheets that could be draped like cloth would be a boon for robotic skin and embedded medical devices. "
This OLED that they made can be stretch up to 45% while still emitting light
plausible to have thinner phones, devices that have less OLED, so cheaper
