Abstract

An electronic device able to be operated with a first state and a second state includes a substrate and electronic units. In a top view, the substrate has a first area in the first state and a second area in the second state, and the second area is greater than the first area. The electronic units are disposed on the substrate. The number of the electronic units being in a mode of ON in the second state is greater than that in the first state. The electronic device has a PPA_1 that is defined as a number of the electronic units being in the mode of ON per unit area of the substrate while in the first state, and a PPA_2 that is defined as a number of the electronic units being in the mode of ON per unit area of the substrate while in the second state, 1.5×PPA_1≥PPA_2≥0.5×PPA_1.

Claims (12)

1. An electronic device, which is able to be operated with a first state and a second state, the electronic device comprising:

a substrate, wherein in a top view of the electronic device, the substrate has a first area in the first state, the substrate has a second area in the second state, and the second area is greater than the first area; and

a plurality of electronic units disposed on the substrate, wherein the plurality of electronic units being in a mode of ON in a number of N1 while in the first state, and the plurality of electronic units being in the mode of ON in a number of N3 while in the second state, wherein N3>N1,

wherein the electronic device has a PPA_1 that is defined as a number of the plurality of electronic units being in the mode of ON per unit area of the substrate while in the first state, and a PPA_2 that is defined as a number of the plurality of electronic units being in the mode of ON per unit area of the substrate while in the second state, wherein 1.5×PPA_1≥PPA_2≥0.5×PPA_1.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises a plurality of pixel parts and a connecting part connecting two adjacent ones of the plurality of pixel parts.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the plurality of electronic units is disposed on one of the plurality of pixel parts.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of electronic units comprises at least three electronic elements disposed side by side.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises a polymer material.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the PPA_2 is equal to the PPA_1.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein all of the plurality of electronic units are in the mode of ON while in the second state.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the plurality of electronic units are in the mode of ON while in the second state.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of electronic units is in the mode of ON while in the first state but is not in the mode of ON while in the second state, and another one of the plurality of electronic units is not in the mode of ON while in the first state but is in the mode of ON while in the second state.
