Abstract

A stretchable display device comprises a display panel that includes a stretchable substrate where a plurality of emission elements is disposed, wherein the stretchable substrate is stretchable in at least one of a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a printed circuit film that includes a first driving circuit chip generating a drive control signal to be applied to the display panel and a second driving circuit chip receiving image data from outside and transferring the image data to the first driving circuit chip, wherein the printed circuit film is stretchable in at least one of the first direction and the second direction with respect to a stretch direction of the display panel.

Claims (24)

1. A flexible printed circuit film, comprising:

a base film which is stretchable in a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and including a plurality of sub-base films separated from one another; and

a plurality of conductive lines disposed on the base film,

wherein each of the plurality of sub-base films is disposed to correspond to each of the plurality of conductive lines,

wherein the base film includes one side in the second direction and another side opposite the one side in the second direction,

wherein the plurality of sub-base films are disposed to be spaced apart along the first direction, and

wherein, when the base film is stretched, a distance between the plurality of sub-base films along the first direction increases in the second direction from the one side of the base film to the another side of the base film.

2. The flexible printed circuit film according to claim 1 , further comprising a driving circuit chip disposed on the base film,

wherein the driving circuit chip is configured to output a drive control signal to a stretchable module including a display panel through the plurality of conductive lines.

3. The flexible printed circuit film according to claim 2 , wherein the base film is adjacent to the stretchable module.

4. The flexible printed circuit film according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of conductive lines disposed in the base film has one of a straight-line shape, a wave shape, and a diamond shape.

5. A flexible printed circuit film, comprising:

a first base film which is stretchable in at least one of a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and including a plurality of sub-base films separated from one another;

a plurality of rigid substrates disposed on at least one of a top surface or a bottom surface of the first base film;

a second base film adjacent to the first base film;

a driving circuit chip disposed on one of the plurality of rigid substrates and having one side connected to the first base film and another side connected to the second base film;

a plurality of first conductive lines each disposed to correspond to each of the plurality of sub-base films; and

a plurality of second conductive lines disposed on the second base film and transferring data input from outside.

6. The flexible printed circuit film according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of conductive lines has a wave shape or a diamond shape.

7. The flexible printed circuit film according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of rigid substrates is stretchable.

8. The flexible printed circuit film according to claim 7 , further comprising a printed circuit board connected to the second base film.

9. The flexible printed circuit film according to claim 8 , wherein at least one of the plurality of rigid substrates is disposed between the first base film and the second base film.

10. The flexible printed circuit film according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sub-base films are stretchable in the first direction and the second direction.

11. The flexible printed circuit film according to the claim 5 , wherein the plurality of sub-base films are stretchable in the first direction and the second direction.
