Description

"With just a little imagination, you can envision what’s coming down the road: athletes festooned with biometric displays attached to their arms or legs, smartphones we wear on the palms of our hands, displays that drape conformably over various curved surfaces. The people who are working hard now to develop such future displays will surely benefit from the many years of research that have already been done to create today’s foldable displays for smartphones. Without doubt, the era for not just bendable but also stretchable electronics will soon be here."
