Abstract
A stretchable display device includes a stretchable substrate capable of being expanded or contracted in a first direction and pixel portions on the stretchable substrate. The pixel portions include rigid areas provided with a light emitter to selectively emit light depending on a driving signal and elastic areas surrounding the rigid areas. The pixel portions are continuously adjacent to each other in the first direction to form a plurality of pixel lines. The pixel portions included in a first pixel line and a second pixel line that are adjacent in the second direction are arranged in a zigzag form along the first direction.
Claims26
A stretchable display device, comprising:
- a stretchable substrate to be expanded or contracted along a first direction;
- and
- pixel portions on the stretchable substrate, each pixel portion including a rigid area, a light emitter to selectively emit light depending on a driving signal on the rigid area, and an elastic area surrounding the rigid area and being stretchable in the first direction, wherein
- a plurality of the pixel portions are continuously adjacent to each other in the first direction to form a plurality of pixel lines, and
- the pixel portions included in a first pixel line and a second pixel line that are adjacent in a second direction crossing the first direction, are arranged in a zigzag form along the first direction in an initial state.
A method of manufacturing a stretchable display device, the method comprising:
- preparing a stretchable substrate;
- forming rigid areas on the stretchable substrate;
- forming a first wire extending in a first direction and around boundaries of the rigid areas;
- and
- forming a second wire extending in a second direction crossing the first direction on the rigid areas.
