Abstract

Provided is a stretchable display having a negative Poisson's ratio including: a first core on which a first light-emitting element is installed; a second core positioned next to the first core and on which a second light-emitting element is installed; multiple first wires coming out from one side of the first core and wound in one direction around the first core; and multiple second wires coming out from one side of the second core and wound in the opposite direction to the first wire around the second core, wherein any of the multiple first wires and any of the multiple second wires are connected between the first core and the second core in a connection part, and when a distance between the first core and the second core increases, the first wires are unwound while the first core rotates, and the second wires are unwound while the second core rotates.

Claims (35)

1 . A stretchable display having a negative Poisson's ratio, the stretchable display comprising:

a first core in which a first light emitting element is installed;

a second core which is positioned next to the first core and in which a second light emitting element is installed;

a plurality of first wires protruding from one side of the first core and wound around the first core in one direction; and

a plurality of second wires protruding from one side of the second core and wound around the second core in a direction opposite to the first wires,

wherein any one of the plurality of first wires and any one of the plurality of second wires are connected at a connector between the first core and the second core, and

when a distance between the first core and the second core increases, the plurality of first wires wound around the first core are unwound as the first core rotates, and the plurality of second wires wound around the second core are unwound as the second cores rotates.

2 . The stretchable display of claim 1 , further comprising:

a third core which is positioned next to the first core and in which a third light emitting element is installed; and

a plurality of third wires protruding from one side of the third core and wound around the third core in the direction opposite to the first wires,

wherein the other one of the plurality of first wires and any one of the plurality of third wires are connected at a connector between the first core and the third core, and

when the distance between the first core and the second core increases, as the plurality of first wires wound around the first core are unwound, a distance between the first core and the third core also increases.

3 . The stretchable display of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of first wires protrudes from the one side of the first core and wound around the first core at an angle of 90° or more.

4 . A stretchable display having a negative Poisson's ratio, which is stretched or contracted in an X direction and an Y direction, the stretchable display comprising:

a first core in which a first light emitting element is installed;

a second core which is positioned on one side of the first core in the X direction and in which a second light emitting element is installed;

a third core which is positioned on one side of the first core in the Y direction and in which a third light emitting element is installed;

a fourth core which is positioned on one side of the second core in the Y direction and one side of the third core in the X direction and in which a fourth light emitting element is installed;

a plurality of first wires protruding from the one side of the first core and wound around the first core in a counterclockwise direction;

a plurality of second wires protruding from the one side of the second core and wound around the second core in a clockwise direction;

a plurality of third wires protruding from the one side of the third core and wound around the third core in a clockwise direction; and

a plurality of fourth wires protruding from one side of the fourth core and wound around the fourth core in a counterclockwise direction,

wherein any one of the plurality of first wires and any one of the plurality of second wires are connected at a first connector between the first core and the second core,

the other one of the plurality of first wires and any one of the plurality of third wires are connected at a second connector between the first core and the third core,

the other one of the plurality of second wires and any one of the plurality of fourth wires are connected at a third connector between the second core and the fourth core,

the other one of the plurality of third wires and the other one of the plurality of fourth wires are connected at a fourth connector between the third core and the fourth core,

the second connector and the third connector are connected to each other through a connection wire, and

when a force is applied to the stretchable display in the X direction to expand the stretchable display, the first core and the fourth core rotate in the counterclockwise direction, the second core and the third core rotate in the clockwise direction, and thus distances between the first core to the fourth core in the X direction and the Y direction increase.

5 . The stretchable display of claim 4 , further comprising:

an additional light emitting element installed in the connection wire.

6 . The stretchable display of claim 5 , wherein the additional light emitting element is positioned on a different layer from the first core to the fourth core.

7 . The stretchable display of claim 5 , further comprising:

a first reinforcement device formed outside the first connector in the Y direction and additionally connecting the first wire and the second wire of the first connector; and

a second reinforcement device formed outside the fourth connector in the Y direction and additionally connecting the third wire and the fourth wire of the fourth connector.

8 . The stretchable display of claim 7 , wherein the Y direction is a stretching direction in which the stretchable display is expanded or contracted by an external force, and the X direction is a dependent direction in which the stretchable display is dependently expanded or contracted according to the expansion or contraction of the stretchable display in the stretching direction.
