S330, forming a receiving groove 142 on the driving module 140, and forming an anode layer 121 and a light emitting layer 122 stacked in sequence in the receiving groove; please refer to fig. 18.
S340, forming a cathode layer 123 on a surface of the driving module 140 away from the conductive layer 130, where the cathode layer 123 is electrically connected to the other end of the connection line 150. Please refer to fig. 19 and fig. 20. Fig. 20 is a top view of a partial structure of a stretchable display device. The cathode layer 123 of the display unit 120 is disposed on the upper surface of the driving module 140.
In one embodiment, a plurality of display units 120 may be disposed on one driving module 140, or one display unit 120 may be disposed on one driving module 140. When a plurality of display units 120 are disposed on one driving module 140, the plurality of display units 120 disposed on the same driving module 140 may belong to the same pixel or belong to different pixels. In the present embodiment, three display units 120 are disposed on one driving module 140 as an example. The three display units 120 are a red display unit 120a, a green display unit 120b, and a blue display unit 120c, respectively.
In one embodiment, the anode layer 121 is disposed adjacent to the conductive layer 130 as compared to the cathode layer 123. The anode layer 121 is configured to receive a positive voltage signal and generate holes under the action of the positive voltage signal; the cathode layer 123 is configured to receive a negative voltage signal and generate electrons under the action of the negative voltage signal; holes generated by the anode layer 121 and electrons generated by the cathode layer 123 recombine in the light emitting layer 122 to make the display unit 120 emit light. It is understood that the driving module 140 includes a circuit for controlling the transmission of the positive voltage signal and the negative voltage signal.
In one embodiment, the light emitting surface of the display unit 120 faces away from the conductive layer 130. In other words, the light emitted by the display unit 120 is emitted from the cathode, and the conductive layer 130 is not on the light emitting surface of the display unit 120, so that the influence of the conductive layer 130 on the light emitting efficiency of the display unit 120 does not need to be considered, and the thickness of the conductive layer 130 can be designed to be thicker, so that the sheet resistance of the conductive layer 130 can be effectively reduced. Further, the uniformity of display of the manufactured stretchable display device 1 can be improved.
It is understood that in the present embodiment, the cathodes of the plurality of display units 120 located on the same driving module 140 are connected together to shorten the manufacturing process. In other embodiments, the cathodes of multiple display units 120 located on the same driving module 140 are independent of each other.
In the conventional technology, the cathode layers are connected by the stretchable connecting line disposed on the same layer, which may result in a large sheet resistance of the cathode layers, and may further affect the uniformity of the stretchable display device 1 during display. In addition, the conventional connecting wire is easy to age and break in a continuous stretching process, so that the surface resistance of the cathode layers is further increased, and even the connection between the cathode layers fails. In the method for manufacturing the stretchable display device 1, the cathode layer 123 of the display unit 120 is electrically connected to the conductive layer 130 stacked and spaced with the cathode layer 123 through the connection line 150, and when the stretchable display device 1 is stretched, the conductive layer 130 deforms along with the stretching of the stretchable base layer 110, so that the performance of the stretchable display device 1 when being stretched can be ensured. In other words, what is deformed when the stretchable display device 1 is stretched is the conductive layer 130 disposed to be stacked with the cathode layer 123, and the connection line 150 is deformed less or substantially without deformation. Therefore, the probability of the connecting line 150 being broken by stretching is reduced, and it can be seen that the stretchable display device 1 manufactured by the method for manufacturing the stretchable display device 1 of the present application has a high yield and a good uniformity in displaying.
In one embodiment, the method for manufacturing the stretchable substrate includes steps S100 and S300, please refer to fig. 21, which is a flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing a stretchable display device according to yet another embodiment.
It is to be understood that, in one embodiment, please refer to fig. 22, and fig. 22 is a flowchart included in S120 in fig. 2 according to another embodiment. S120, the forming the conductive layer 130 on the first elastic body 111 includes: S121-II and S122-II, S121-II and S122-II are described in detail below.
S121-II, forming a whole layer of conductive material layer on the first elastic body 111;
S122-II, patterning the conductive material layer to form a plurality of hollow structures 133 to expose a portion of the first elastic body 111, so as to obtain the conductive layer 130. Referring to fig. 23, a schematic diagram of a finally formed stretchable display device 1 is shown, and fig. 23 is a top view of a stretchable display device according to another embodiment of the present application.
The present application also provides a stretchable display device 1, which stretchable display device 1 may be, but is not limited to, a stretchable mobile phone, an electronic book, etc. The stretchable display device 1 may be prepared by the method of preparing the stretchable display device 1 described above. Referring to fig. 20, 24 and 25 together, fig. 24 is a schematic view illustrating a stretchable display device in a relaxed state according to an embodiment of the present application; fig. 25 is a schematic view of a stretchable display device according to an embodiment of the present application in a stretched state.
The stretchable display device 1 includes:
a stretchable base layer 110;
a plurality of display units 120 disposed on the stretchable base layer 110 at intervals, wherein the display units 120 include a cathode layer 123, a light emitting layer 122, and an anode layer 121 stacked one on another;
a conductive layer 130 is further disposed within the stretchable base layer 110, and the cathode layers 123 of the plurality of display cells 120 are electrically connected to the conductive layer 130;
when the stretchable base layer 110 is stretched, the conductive layer 130 deforms as the stretchable base layer 110 stretches.
When the stretchable display device 1 is in a relaxed state, at which time the stretchable display device 1 is not stretched and the stretchable substrate is not stretched, at which time the conductive layer 130 is wavy, the specific structure of the conductive layer 130 is described in detail later. When the stretchable display device 1 is in a stretched state, the stretchable base layer is stretched, and the conductive layer 130 is flattened as the stretchable base layer is stretched.
In the conventional technology, the cathode layers 123 are connected by the stretchable connecting wires disposed on the same layer, which results in a large sheet resistance of the cathode layers 123, and further affects the uniformity of the display of the stretchable display device 1. In addition, the conventional connection wire 150 is prone to aging and fracture during the continuous stretching process, which further increases the sheet resistance of the cathode layers 123 and even causes the connection between the cathode layers 123 to fail. In the stretchable display device 1 of the present application, the cathode layer 123 of the display unit 120 in the stretchable display device 11 is electrically connected to the conductive layer 130 stacked and spaced with the cathode layer 123 through the connection line 150, and when the stretchable display device 1 is stretched, the conductive layer 130 deforms along with the stretching of the stretchable base layer 110, so that the performance of the stretchable display device 1 when stretched can be ensured. In other words, what is deformed when the stretchable display device 1 is stretched is the conductive layer 130 disposed to be stacked with the cathode layer 123, and the connection line 150 is deformed less or substantially without deformation. Therefore, the probability of the connecting line 150 being broken by stretching is reduced, and thus it can be seen that the stretchable display device 1 of the present application has a high yield and a good uniformity in displaying.

The connection line 150 may be made of, but not limited to, metal, the diameters of the first through hole 141 and the second through hole 113 may be designed according to the conductivity of the connection line 150 and the distribution of the display units 120 in the driving module 140, the thickness of the diameter of the connection line 150 is related to the contact resistance between the cathode and the conductive layer 130, and therefore, the size of the connection line 150 may be designed such that the contact resistance between the cathode and the conductive layer 130 is small.
In one embodiment, the stretchable base layer 110 is provided with a second through hole 113 corresponding to the first through hole 141, and the second end of the connection line 150 is electrically connected to the conductive layer 130 through the second through hole 113.

When a plurality of display units 120 are disposed on one driving module 140, the plurality of display units 120 disposed on the same driving module 140 may belong to the same pixel or belong to different pixels.

The first via 141 is disposed in the non-device region 140b, so that the connection line 150 in the first via 141 can be prevented from interfering with the driving circuit in the device region 140 a.
In one embodiment, when a plurality of display units 120 are carried by one driving module 140, the cathode layers 123 of the plurality of display units 120 carried by the same driving module 140 are connected.
In one embodiment, the stretchable base layer 110 comprises:
a first elastic body 111, the first elastic body 111 comprising an elastic body 1111 and a plurality of extension portions 1112 arranged at intervals, wherein the bottom surface 110a of the elastic body 1111 constitutes the bottom surface 110a of the stretchable substrate layer 110, and the extension portions 1112 extend from the elastic body 1111 towards the direction away from the bottom surface 110 a; the first conductive part 131 of the conductive layer 130 is disposed on the extension parts 1112, and the second conductive part 132 of the conductive layer 130 is disposed between the adjacent extension parts 1112;
and a second elastic body 112, wherein the second elastic body 112 is arranged on the surface of the conductive layer 130, which faces away from the first elastic body 111.
In this embodiment, the stretchable base layer 110 includes a first elastic body 111 and a second elastic body 112, and the first elastic body 111 and the second elastic body 112 together form the stretchable base layer 110, so that the conductive layer 130 is embedded in the stretchable base layer 110.
In one embodiment, at least one of the protruding direction of the first conductive portion 131 and the protruding direction of the second conductive portion 132 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the conductive layer 130.
When the protruding direction of the first conductive part 131 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the conductive layer 130, when the stretchable display device 1 is stretched, the first conductive part 131 has better extending performance and is not easily broken by pulling. Similarly, when the protruding direction of the second conductive part 132 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the conductive layer 130, when the stretchable display device 1 is stretched, the extending performance of the second conductive part 132 is better and the second conductive part is not easily broken by pulling
In the stretchable display device 1 described above, the conductive layer 130 is taken as an example of a whole layer structure and does not include the hollow structure 133.
