Abstract
A flexible electronic display is provided. The display includes a substrate having a plurality of rigid portions, at least one display circuit positioned on a surface of each of the plurality of rigid portions, and at least one flexible interconnect electrically connected to the at least one display circuit. The at least one interconnect is flexible such that each of the plurality of rigid portions may be folded or stretched relative to one another.
Claims13
An origami-based flexible electronic display, comprising:
- a rigid substrate;
- a plurality of creases formed in the rigid substrate thereby forming an origami pattern of a plurality of rigid portions;
- a pixelated display portion attached to the plurality of rigid portions;
- at least one display circuit positioned on a top surface of the plurality of the rigid portions;
- a plurality of flexible serpentine-shaped interconnects in the creases and electrically connected to the at least one display circuit, wherein the plurality of serpentine-shaped interconnects are flexible and stretchable such that the plurality of rigid portions may be folded and stretched along the creases relative to one another according to the origami pattern;
- wherein each of the pixelated display portions form an overall visual display on the electronic display when unfolded from an origami-folded and compact size to a flat configuration.
