Abstract

A substrate structure applied in flexible electrical devices is provided. The substrate structure includes a carrier, a flexible substrate opposed to the carrier, a release layer formed on a surface of the flexible substrate opposed to the carrier, and an adhesive layer formed between the carrier, the release layer and the flexible substrate, wherein the area of the adhesive layer is larger than that of the release layer, and the adhesive layer has a greater adhesion force than that of the release layer to the flexible substrate. The invention also provides a method for fabricating the substrate structure.

Claims (20)
