SEOUL -- LG Display has developed a film-like display that the South Korean company says can be pulled, folded and twisted without any distortion to high-resolution images.

The display has a stretchability of about 20% thanks to a substrate made of the same kind of material used in soft contact lenses, the company said Tuesday, calling the stretch factor an industry first.
