Abstract

According to one embodiment, a flexible substrate includes an insulating base material including an island-shaped portion, a first portion having a band shape and connected to the island-shaped portion, and a second portion having a band shape and connected to the island-shaped portion, and a wiring layer provided on the insulating base material. The first portion includes a first curved portion and a first straight portion connecting the island-shaped portion and the first curved portion, and the second portion includes a second curved portion and a second straight portion connecting the island-shaped portion and the second curved portion.

Claims (26)

1. A flexible substrate comprising: an insulating base material comprising an island-shaped portion, a first portion having a band shape and connected to the island-shaped portion, and a second portion having a band shape and connected to the island-shaped portion; and a wiring layer provided on the insulating base material, wherein the first portion comprises a first curved portion and a first straight portion connecting the island-shaped portion and the first curved portion, and the second portion comprises a second curved portion and a second straight portion connecting the island-shaped portion and the second curved portion, wherein the first straight portion has a first side edge and a second side edge opposite to the first side edge, an angle formed by the island-shaped portion and the first side edge is substantially equal to an angle formed by the island-shaped portion and the second side edge, the second straight portion has a third side edge and a fourth side edge opposite to the third side edge, and an angle formed by the island-shaped portion and the third side edge is substantially equal to an angle formed by the island-shaped portion and the fourth side edge.

2. The flexible substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the first straight portion extends in a first direction, and

a length of the first straight portion along the first direction is equal to or longer than a width of the first straight portion along a second direction intersecting the first direction.

3. The flexible substrate according to claim 2 , wherein the second straight portion extends in the first direction, and

a length of the second straight portion along the first direction is equal to or longer than a width of the second straight portion along the second direction.

4. The flexible substrate according to claim 3 , wherein a connection position between the first straight portion and the island-shaped portion is provided at a position facing a connection position between the second straight portion and the island-shaped portion with the island-shaped portion as a center, and

the first straight portion and the second straight portion extend on a same straight line.

5. The flexible substrate according to claim 3 , wherein the island-shaped portion is formed in a substantially quadrangular shape, and

the first straight portion and the second straight portion are respectively connected to a pair of opposing sides of the island-shaped portion, and are positioned on a same straight line.

6. The flexible substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the wiring layer has a first wiring portion provided in the first portion and a second wiring portion provided in the second portion, and

the first wiring portion and the second wiring portion are electrically connected each other.

7. The flexible substrate according to claim 6 , further comprising an electrical element provided in the island-shaped portion, wherein the wiring layer further has a third wiring portion overlapping the electrical element, and

the first wiring portion and the second wiring portion are electrically connected via the third wiring portion.

8. A flexible substrate comprising: an insulating base material comprising an island-shaped portion, a first portion having a band shape and connected to the island-shaped portion, and a second portion having a band shape and connected to the island-shaped portion; and a wiring layer provided on the insulating base material, wherein the first portion and the second portion are formed to be stretchable on a same straight line, wherein the island-shaped portion is formed in a substantially quadrangular shape, and the first portion and the second portion are respectively connected to a pair of opposing sides of the island-shaped portion.

9. The flexible substrate according to claim 8 , wherein the island-shaped portion is formed in a substantially circular shape.

10. The flexible substrate according to claim 8 , wherein the first portion and the second portion are disposed point-symmetrically with respect to a center of the island-shaped portion.

11. A flexible substrate comprising:

an insulating base material comprising an island-shaped portion, a first portion having a band shape and connected to the island-shaped portion, and a second portion having a band shape and connected to the island-shaped portion; and

a wiring layer provided on the insulating base material, wherein

the first portion has a first side edge and a second side edge opposite to the first side edge,

the second portion has a third side edge and a fourth side edge opposite to the third side edge,

an angle formed by the island-shaped portion and the first side edge is substantially equal to an angle formed by the island-shaped portion and the second side edge, and

an angle formed by the island-shaped portion and the third side edge is substantially equal to an angle formed by the island-shaped portion and the fourth side edge.

12. The flexible substrate according to claim 11 , wherein the island-shaped portion is formed in a substantially quadrangular shape, and

the first portion and the second portion are respectively connected to a pair of opposing sides of the island-shaped portion, and are formed to be stretchable on a same straight line.

13. The flexible substrate according to claim 11 , wherein the island-shaped portion is formed in a substantially circular shape and is formed to be stretchable on a same straight line.
