Abstract

A stretchable display device including a stretchable display panel and a stretchable touch panel is provided. The stretchable display panel has a first Young's modulus. The stretchable touch panel is disposed on the stretchable display panel and has a second Young's modulus. A ratio of the second Young's modulus and the first Young's modulus is within a range of 0.5 to 1.5.
