This stretchable technology goes beyond expanding its size, though, as you can freely twist, extrude, and fold it without damaging the screen.

    This is a "Solution Before Problem™" but still extremely cool as a technology

    Edit: also dont foldable screens stretch already? Or how do they compensate for the length difference between folded and unfolded, esoecially on the huawei with 2 folds for example. And the other thing is if they have stretchable screens, could they have stretchable semiconductors? Its cool but my philosophy is that you should always strive for simplicity and one piece of a device should only so its own thing. If you have a hinge its okay but suddenly when you fold a bunch of other things thats too much. Thats for example why i think the ds/3ds is a brilliant design while every single foldable phone is useless. IMO foldable screens are usefull where it only does one thing like on a curved screen. Thats on optimization where they manufacture one panel but the company that makes the monitor can put a curve on it in the factory. This is MY OPINION so it doesnt have to be currect. Also sorry for the rant.
