Samsung Display made a stretchable screen

 

You can always count on Samsung Display to share some out-of-the-box concepts. And the newest out of CES 2025 is a stretchable screen that bulges from the center to create the 3D effect. Imagine Sadako from the Japanese horror movie The Ring coming out of a screen like this.

While the concept is far from commercialization, you can imagine it being useful for things like 3D maps in cars, fun watch faces, or more tactile user interfaces on mobile devices or even car displays. Of course, its durability is going to be a point of concern. This stretchable micro LED is still in its early development, so any potential real-life applications are still years away.

These chunky glasses resemble their Ray-Ban Metas, adding a digital display to these smart glasses. And they offer the widest field of view for AR glasses at the moment at 70 degrees.
