FLEXIBLE SUBSTRATE
According to one embodiment, a flexible substrate including an insulating base including a plurality of first strip portions, a plurality of second strip portions, and a plurality of island-shaped portions located at the intersections of the first strip portions and the second strip portions, a plurality of electric elements each including a lower electrode, an upper electrode, and an active layer located between the lower electrode and the upper electrode, and overlapping with the island-shaped portions, and a first stress relaxation layer located between the lower electrode and the active layer, wherein the first stress relaxation layer is formed of a conductive resin material.
1 . A flexible substrate comprising:
an insulating base including a plurality of first strip portions extending in a first direction and arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction, a plurality of second strip portions extending in the second direction and arranged in the first direction, and a plurality of island-shaped portions located at the intersections of the first strip portions and the second strip portions;
a plurality of electric elements each including a lower electrode, an upper electrode located above the lower electrode, and an active layer located between the lower electrode and the upper electrode, and overlapping with the island-shaped portions; and
a first stress relaxation layer located between the lower electrode and the active layer, wherein
the first stress relaxation layer is formed of a conductive resin material.
2 . The flexible substrate of claim 1 , further comprising:
an organic insulating layer located between the island-shaped portion and the lower electrode, wherein
rigidity of the first stress relaxation layer is smaller than the rigidity of the organic insulating layer.

a thickness of the first stress relaxation layer is 1 to 5 μm.
5 . The flexible substrate of claim 4 , further comprising:
an organic insulating layer located between the island-shaped portion and the lower electrode; and
a sealing layer located on the electric element, wherein
the thickness from a lower surface of the organic insulating layer to an upper surface of the sealing layer is 10 μm or less.
6 . The flexible substrate of claim 1 , wherein
the first stress relaxation layer overlaps with an entire surface of the lower electrode.
7 . The flexible substrate of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second stress relaxation layer located between the active layer and the upper electrode, wherein
the second stress relaxation layer is formed of a conductive resin material.
