9.4: Stretchable 45 × 80 RGB LED Display Using Meander Wiring Technology

We present a stretchable and foldable passive matrix driven display using 45 by 80 RGB LED’s mounted on a meandering printed circuitry embedded in a polyurethane film. The meander interconnections have been optimized with respect to their electrical and mechanical properties to provide a display with a 3 mm pitch between the pixels and a stretchability of up to 10%. At an operating supply voltage of 5 V, the brightness of the display exceeds 30 cd/m2.
