Summary:
A new OLED design can stretch dramatically while staying bright, solving a problem that has long limited flexible displays.
The breakthrough comes from pairing a highly efficient light-emitting material with tough, transparent MXene-based electrodes.
Tests showed the display kept most of its brightness even after repeated stretching.
The technology could power future wearable screens and on-skin health sensors.

Do you want your pants to be a wearable screen?
What would you display?
