Il micro LED it is the future of devices of any kind, starting with televisions up to wearables. But it is possible to actually create one folding ed extensible? Apparently yes, and Royole she succeeded. Many of you will remember this company as the first to have introduced one folding smartphone, although unfortunately it did not have the success it deserved. Yet he hasn't stopped trying and has introduced a new generation of device. Let's go see the details.
Royole introduces the first device with truly extensible and foldable micro-LED: the applications are numerous but the problem is the mass market
The Chinese company Royole Technology, known for releasing the world's first flexible smartphone, unveiled at the SID Display Week 2021 the first ever expandable screen, made with micro-LED technology. Royole's designed screen is able to flex, stretch, compress, curl and survive other types of deformation in every possible way. Such a panel can be mounted on surfaces of various shapes or it can be, for example, integrated into clothes.
The implementation on wearables is by the way the first application that came to our mind. Liu Jihong, founder and CEO Royole Technology said:
“The release of flexible micro-LED displays is an important sign that the flexible electronics industry is experiencing exponential growth. Royole Technology remains a leader in this area. The flexible screen technology means that technological development has reached a new frontier that will bring unprecedented innovation in areas such as augmented and virtual reality, wearable devices, biomedicine, the automotive industry and more "

So far, Royole has managed to achieve one pixel density of 120 ppi, which is comparable to that of most laptop screens. The range of elongation of such a display can reach 130%: one centimeter screen can be stretched up to 13 centimeters. In the concave and convex state, the angle between the apex of the concavity or convexity and the plane of the panel can reach 40 degrees.
