Not so long ago, we already wrote that Samsung is ready to introduce the stretchable 9.1-inch to the world. The Koreans did not disappoint. In Los Angeles, at the SID 2017 event, the company introduced a stretchable AMOLED display built on LTPS technology.
The display can be pushed 12 mm deep, and nothing will happen to it. So far, the technology is very raw, but in the future, when the displays become fully elastic, like the fabric of clothing, it will be possible to confidently assert the use of such displays in the creation of clothing. However, it is possible that already now designers from all over the world are probably interested in such an implementation, the main point is probably technological progress. And it is Samsung that gives hope that the future will not be so gloomy and boring.
With similar technologies, the Koreans showed who is the market leader. Of course, behind this lies not only the financial aspect, but also the marketing aspect - the brand is enriched by such market discoveries and becomes the embodiment of what you can be equal to.
As you can see, the display is a stretchable substrate on which pixels are located. Between the pixels there are empty spaces, with the help of which the stretch itself occurs.
At the same time, there is nothing surprising, at first glance, in such a technology. They only increased the distance between the pixels and placed them on a stretchable substrate.
At the same time, it should be understood that the pixel density with this layout will be significantly lower than in the case of conventional displays.
You should not expect smartphones with similar displays in the near future. While cheese technology takes time to polish and adapt accordingly, it's one thing to create, another to direct your creations in the right direction.

Instruction
The image may be stretched for two reasons: firstly, due to incorrect screen settings; secondly, in the absence of the necessary driver for the video card installed in the system.
Correcting the stretched image in the first case is very simple. For the Windows XP operating system, open "Start" - "Control Panel" - "Display" - "Display Settings" and set the required resolution. For a regular monitor, the normal screen resolution is 1024x768 pixels. For a monitor with an aspect ratio of 16:9, typical for laptops, 1366x768 pixels. Click "OK" - the screen resolution will be changed. Evaluate it - if it has become normal, confirm the changes. If not, try selecting other display options.
AT operating system Windows 7 to change the screen resolution, click on a free area of the desktop right button mice. In the opened context menu Select "Screen Resolution". Further setup is the same as for Windows XP.
In the event that there is no video card driver, the situation is somewhat more complicated. Determining whether the driver is installed is very simple - open any window and try dragging it with the mouse. In the absence of a driver, the window will move slowly, with noticeable distortion.
To install the driver, open "Start" - "Control Panel" - "System" - "Hardware" - "Device Manager" - "Display Adapters". If the driver is not installed, your video card will be marked with a yellow question mark in the list. Double-click the line with the question mark with the mouse, in the window that appears, click the "Reinstall" button. If you have a driver disc, insert it into your drive and click Next. The installer will automatically find and install required files. If the driver is located on the hard disk of the computer, specify the path to it.
The main difficulties arise when installing video card drivers on laptops. To find out which driver you need, use Aida64 (Everest). Run it and see the exact data of the video card. Using this data, go to the website of your manufacturer and look for correct driver.
In some cases, the installation disc with Windows XP can help solve problems with installing drivers. Windows build XP Zver. There are a large number of drivers in this assembly, but you won’t be able to install them directly, as they are packed. Copy the archive you need from the OEMDRV folder - for example, DP_Video_ATI_Nvidia_911rc9.7z for ATI graphics cards and Nvidia, extract it. Then run the driver installation procedure again and specify the path to the folder with the unpacked drivers.
If the image size smaller size TV screen, black bars may be visible on the screen.
