Display and method thereof
View Patent ↗A flexible display including a first flexible substrate and a second flexible substrate, a plurality of electrodes and control microcircuits disposed on inner surfaces of both substrates, first channels disposed on the inner surface of the first flexible substrate and extending in a first direction, second channels disposed on the inner surface of the second flexible substrate and extending in a second direction, and a plurality of spacers disposed between the substrates. The inner surfaces of the substrates are substantially parallel and facing each other. The first direction and the second direction of the channels are inclined relative to each other. The spacers are disposed between the substrates in cross-points of the first channels and the second channels.
1. A display comprising:
a first substrate having a first channel;
a second substrate having a second channel;
a plurality of electrodes and microcircuits disposed on the first and second substrates; and
a spacer disposed between the first and second substrates, wherein the spacer is disposed between the substrates in cross-portion of the first channel and the second channel, and
the spacer includes an elastic material.
2. The display as in claim 1 , wherein a depth of the channels is between about 1% and about 40% of a height of the spacer, the depth of the channels and the height of the spacer being taken in a direction perpendicular to inner surfaces of the substrates.
3. The display as in claim 1 , wherein the electrodes and microcircuits are disposed between the adjacent channels.
4. The display as in claim 1 , wherein the electrodes and microcircuits partially cover a surface of the channels.
5. The display as in claim 1 , wherein a first direction of the first channel and a second direction of the second channel intersect each other at an angle within a range of about 1 degree to about 90 degrees.
6. The display as in claim 1 , wherein the channels have an elliptical cross-section.
7. The display as in claim 1 , wherein the channels have a rectilinear cross-section.
8. The display as in claim 1 , wherein the spacer is disposed in each of the channels of the first substrate.
