[0002] New display is one of the key development directions of strategic emerging industries in the era of national informatization and intelligence. As an important development goal in the field of new display, high-resolution flexible display has long been the focus of many leading domestic companies. Among them, flexible thin film transistor (Flexible Thin Film Transistor, referred to as FTFT) is a special form of thin film transistor (TFT), and it is also the basic unit for realizing flexible integrated circuit switch control, so it has become a key driving component for flexible display. In practical applications, flexible TFT usually needs to work under complex mechanical stress; as the working time increases, the above mechanical stress will gradually cause microscopic defects and damage in the gate oxide layer, active layer, source and drain contact area and various interfaces of the flexible TFT, thereby causing the device threshold voltage, transconductance and mobility. Degradation of electrical parameters, and then causing the failure of the flexible display system. Therefore, in order to ensure the long-term stable operation of flexible display, it is necessary to determine the service life of flexible TFT under different mechanical stresses and evaluate its reliability. In the prior art, the following methods are usually used to determine the service life of flexible TFTs: 1. A mechanical fatigue tester is used to apply cyclic mechanical stress to the flexible device, and the degradation of the device's electrical properties before and after the fatigue test is observed to evaluate the device's mechanical fatigue life; however, the time period required for a complete mechanical fatigue test is long, which will consume a lot of testing time and expenses, resulting in low quality inspection efficiency and high quality inspection costs for flexible TFTs; 2. Since the physical characterization technology of the microstructure in the device (focused ion beam analysis, transmission electron microscopy, etc.) requires a long time and high costs, the mechanical fatigue life of the device is usually evaluated based on the degradation of the macroscopic electrical parameters of the flexible TFT, but the macroscopic electrical parameters cannot intuitively reflect the changes in the microscopic defects and potential damage inside the device, thereby restricting the accuracy and credibility of the service life calculation results; 3. The fatigue life of the flexible device is also predicted and estimated by establishing a linear relationship between mechanical stress and fatigue life (stress-life relationship curve); in actual production life, there may be a nonlinear relationship between mechanical stress and the fatigue life of the flexible TFT, which will lead to inaccurate prediction results of the stress-life relationship curve.

[0020] For flexible TFTs, the industry often applies cyclic mechanical stress to them and observes the degradation of the device's electrical performance before and after fatigue testing to evaluate the device's mechanical fatigue life. However, the test requires a long period of time and will consume a lot of experimental time and costs.
