Abstract

Provided is a stretchable display device. The stretchable display device includes a plurality of island substrates which defines a plurality of pixels and is spaced apart from each other, a lower substrate disposed below the plurality of island substrates and a connection line which electrically connects pads disposed on adjacent island substrates among the plurality of island substrates, wherein the upper substrate is made of a stretchable polymer material and includes a plurality of upper patterns overlapping an emission area of the plurality of island substrates and a second upper pattern in an area excluding the plurality of first upper patterns, and wherein the second upper pattern further includes a black pigment.

Claims (35)

wherein the second upper pattern further includes a black pigment.

2. The stretchable display device according to claim 1 , wherein the lower substrate includes a plurality of first lower patterns overlapping the plurality of island substrates and a second lower pattern in an area excluding the plurality of lower patterns.

3. The stretchable display device according to claim 2 , wherein a modulus of the plurality of first lower patterns is larger than a modulus of the second lower pattern.

4. The stretchable display device according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of first lower patterns is made of a same material as the plurality of island substrates.

5. The stretchable display device according to claim 1 , wherein a modulus of the plurality of first upper patterns is larger than a modulus of the second upper pattern.

6. The stretchable display device according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of first upper patterns is made of a same material as a plurality of first lower patterns and

wherein the second upper pattern is made of a same material as a second lower pattern.

7. The stretchable display device according to claim 1 , wherein the stretchable polymer material includes polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).

8. The stretchable display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a gate line, a high potential power source line, and a low potential power source line disposed above the plurality of island substrates in one direction; and

a data line disposed above the plurality of island substrates in a different direction than the one direction.

9. The stretchable display device according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a reflective layer disposed above the plurality of island substrates;

an adhesive layer disposed on the reflective layer; and

an RGB light emitting diode (LED) disposed on the adhesive layer to overlap the reflective layer.

10. The stretchable display device according to claim 9 , wherein the reflective layer is electrically connected to the low potential power source line.

11. The stretchable display device according to claim 8 , wherein the connection line is electrically connected to the low potential power source line through a contact hole or a connection pad.

12. The stretchable display device according to claim 1 , wherein the connection line includes a base polymer and conductive particles dispersed in the base polymer.

13. A stretchable display device, comprising:

a plurality of island substrates which defines a plurality of pixels and is spaced apart from each other;

a lower substrate disposed below the plurality of island substrates;
