TOKYO: Palmreading could take on a whole new meaning thanks to a new invention from Japan: an ultra-thin display and monitor that can be stuck directly to the body. The band-aid-like device is just one millimeter thick and can monitor important health data as well as send and receive messages, including emojis. “Place displays on your skin, and you would feel as if it is part of your body. The display consists of a 16-by-24 array of micro LEDs and stretchable wiring mounted on a rubber sheet. “Because this device can stretch, we now can paste a display on things with complex shapes, like skin,” Someya said.
