    The $249 46-mm running watch has a bright 1.32-inch OLED display and weighs just 36g.

    Shape-shifting touchscreen buttons.

    LG Display’s 100ppi automotive stretchable display can “turn every interior space into a display,” including the center fascia area where it can expand by up to 50 percent to transform into raised buttons and dials. “When the screen is touched, the previously flat display flexibly expands and protrudes touch buttons, making it easy to operate even while driving,” says the company.
