Embodiment Construction

[0068] figure 1 A dynamically flexible article or device 10 is generally shown, such as a wristband, shoe, belt, jewelry, belt, light, sticker, reader, or other flexible electronic device. The article 10 includes a flexible electronic component 12 , an intermediate layer 14 and a flexible support structure 16 . The flexible electronic component 12 is disposed or coupled on the flexible support structure 16 (for example, via the intermediate layer 14), so that the flexible electronic component 12 can be dynamically bent or conformable, such as the user's wrist , arm or other curved or even flat surface, and the flexible electronic component 12 can be, for example, a flexible display, a flexible OLED light source or lamp, a foldable e-reader, a roll-out screen, a flexible sheet or screen , sensor tags, electronic circuits, or other flexible electronic components. When, for example, the flexible electronic component 12 is a flexible display, the flexible display can be bent or...

Abstract

A flexible electronic item includes a flexible electronic component and a flexible support coupled to the flexible electronic component. The flexible support is configured to support the flexible electronic component, but at the same time limit the local bending of the flexible component. The flexible support defines a plurality of hinge points configured to facilitate movement of the article. The plurality of hinge points are positioned such that the article has a desired range of bending.
