Abstract
The invention relates to a deformable display, more in particular a flexible, stretchable, and transparent deformable display based on light-emitting elements such as for example light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The invention also relates to the use and applications of such deformable display, including systems and methods making use of such deformable display. In addition the invention relates to a flexible, stretchable and transparent display being deformable in real-time while maintaining deformability.
Claims17
A method for fabricating a deformable display, the method comprising:
- providing a circuit board;
- providing an arrangement of pixels onto said circuit board,
- providing connections between said pixels of said arrangement of pixels onto said circuit board;
- removing at least part of said circuit board in areas where none of said pixels or connections therebetween are present;
- and
- providing a thermoplastic material wherein said pixels connected with each other are embedded, wherein said thermoplastic material is transparent.
A deformable display system comprising:
- a plurality of circuit boards;
- an arrangement of pixels provided onto said plurality of circuit boards such that at least a part of said plurality of circuit boards have one or more of said pixels being mounted thereon and such that said pixels are connected with each other;
- wherein connections, which provide power to said pixels and/or connect two or more of said pixels with each other, are provided amongst said pixels or onto said circuit boards;
- wherein amongst two or more of said pixels at least one data connection from one pixel to another is provided;
- wherein said arrangement of pixels onto said plurality of circuit boards, including connections therebetween, acts as a mesh shaped carrier being deformable in any directions;
- and
- wherein the connected pixels are embedded in a thermoplastic material, wherein said thermoplastic material is transparent.
