Abstract
A flex-tolerant structure includes a flexible and foldable substrate and traces on the substrate. Each trace includes a stretch-resistant layer and a metal layer covering the stretch-resistant layer, electrical flow can persist through these layers even if the traces are fractured. A display panel is also disclosed.
