Abstract

A display device includes a lower substrate which is stretchable and is divided into a first area, a second area, and a third area; a plurality of lower conductive patterns disposed on the first area of the lower substrate; a plurality of pixels which is disposed on the second area of the lower substrate; a plurality of lower connection lines which is disposed on the third area of the lower substrate and is connected to at least one the plurality of pixels; an upper substrate which is opposite to the lower substrate and is stretchable; and a plurality of upper conductive patterns which is disposed below the upper substrate and is overlapped with the plurality of lower conductive patterns. By doing this, the excessive stretching of the display device can be suppressed or controlled.
