Description:
Displays are essential devices for human and media interaction. However, current displays are limited to rigid, hard, and flat shapes. Display shapes should be non-flat and 3D curved to bring warm tones and create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Realizing 3D-shaped displays allows for pleasant organic designs with fully free shapes. We introduce a new type of directly controllable interactive stretchable display with dynamic deformation and direct interactions to provide a new experience of non-flat, 3D curved shapes. The developed stretchable LED display achieved consistent and stable stretchable electrical connections by adopting novel liquid metal wirings. We successfully demonstrated excellent and dynamic deformation with high stretchability of the display up to 50%. The display can be mechanically stable when applied to 3D curved shapes such as domes and two-fold folding like a handkerchief without the disconnection of lines and pixels. Additionally, the integrated sensor enables direct control to enrich the visual experiences. The developed display is an important step for widening innovative soft electronics and creating new user experiences.
