Flexible Display Device

摘要

The present invention relates to a flexible display device ( 10 ) comprising a flexible substrate ( 12 ), and a plurality of electro-optical switching elements ( 14 ) accommodated on the substrate. The device is characterized in that the substrate has a plurality of through openings ( 16 ) being arranged in a repetitive pattern so that the electro-optical switching elements are located in areas of the substrate adjacent to the openings. The through openings allow for bending the display device in two directions simultaneously, with reduced tensile or compressive stress in the plane of the substrate.
