STRETCHABLE ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS WITH FLUID CONTAINMENT

摘要

The present invention provides electronic systems, including device arrays, comprising functional device(s) and/or device component(s) at least partially enclosed via one or more fluid containment chambers, such that the device(s) and/or device component(s) are at least partially, and optionally entirely, immersed in a containment fluid. Useful containment fluids for use in fluid containment chambers of electronic devices of the invention include lubricants, electrolytes and/or electronically resistive fluids. In some embodiments, for example, electronic systems of the invention comprise one or more electronic devices and/or device components provided in free-standing and/or tethered configurations that decouple forces originating upon deformation, stretching or compression of a supporting substrate from the free standing or tethered device or device component.

主权项

1. An electronic system comprising:
i. a substrate; ii. an electronic device or device component supported by said substrate; wherein said electronic device or device component is free standing or tethered to said substrate; and iii. a fluid containment chamber at least partially enclosing said electronic device or device component; wherein said fluid containment chamber is at least partially filled with a containment fluid.
