Screen technology is always rushing ahead, with competitors working to develop the latest and greatest panels. Deeper, darker blacks, higher resolutions, faster frame rates - the display world is always looking for something better. While it's nice to aim for incremental stars, what's more fun are the weirder displays.

Some odd screens, like Finalmouse's new keyboard screen (opens in new tab), seem a bit impractical, but are definitely still very fun. Others, like Corsair's upcoming curved screen (opens in new tab), make a lot of sense. Being able to go from working on a flat screen to immersive gaming on a curved screen on the fly is a great idea and may even be worth the price.

Thankfully, screens will continue to get even weirder with this new stretchable display unveiled by LG (opens in new tab), and if you thought Corsair's bending was a bit lackluster, prepare to see some real flexible freedom. Not only can these screens bend within the frame, they can twist, contort, and even fold without damage.

This works by creating a kind of film using a special silicone used in contact lenses. This allows it to stretch like a rubber band, stretching the screen from 12 to 14 inches, and LG is proud to say that thanks to the new wiring structure underneath it, it can bounce back even when its shape changes dramatically.

Unfortunately, it won't be a PC gaming screen anytime soon, as it is currently limited to the 12-inch size. Still, a high-resolution, full-RGB screen that can be stretched by 20% is quite impressive. It could be an absolute game changer for cell phones, portable gaming consoles, and even smaller devices like VR.

Foldable phones are currently growing rapidly in the market, and this type of technology will only move these innovations forward. Not to mention wearables. There is even talk of attaching them to things like cars and aircraft.

Expect to see a resurgence of things like Nokia Morph, a wearable concept introduced by Nokia in 2008. It had a flexible screen that allowed the phone to wrap around the wrist, shaking up the aesthetics of the original Xbox. At the time, it was little more than a pipe dream, but now that the development of flexible screens is well underway, we may finally see something of the same kind.
