Description

可撓性電子裝置Flexible electronic device

本發明是有關於一種電子裝置,且特別是有關於一種可撓性電子裝置。 The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly, to a flexible electronic device.

隨著携帶式顯示器被廣泛地應用,針對可撓性顯示器之開發也越趨積極,以實現於不同曲面下仍可顯示之目的。另外,為了美觀上的需求,顯示面板大多訴求具有較大的顯示面積,也因此窄邊框技術逐漸受到重視。舉例來說,可藉由將外接線路彎折至顯示面板的背面來實現窄邊框設計。 As portable displays are widely used, the development of flexible displays is becoming more and more active in order to achieve the purpose of displaying under different curved surfaces. In addition, in order to meet aesthetic requirements, most display panels require a larger display area. Therefore, the technology of narrow bezels has been gradually valued. For example, a narrow bezel design can be achieved by bending external lines to the back of the display panel.

然而,外接線路彎折至顯示面板的背面會受彎折時所產生之拉應力影響,致使其導線易於彎折處產生斷線。舉例來說,彎折後之顯示面板在彎折半徑為0.25mm的情況下,位於彎折處之導線易產生斷線的問題。 However, when the external circuit is bent to the back of the display panel, it is affected by the tensile stress generated during the bending, so that the wires are easily broken at the bend. For example, when the bent display panel has a bending radius of 0.25 mm, the problem of disconnection is likely to occur in the wires located at the bent portion.

本發明提供一種可撓性電子裝置,其可改善導線易於彎折處產生斷線的問題。 The invention provides a flexible electronic device, which can improve the problem of disconnection at the place where the conductive wire is easily bent.

本發明一實施例的可撓性電子裝置包括可撓性基板、多個緩衝層以及多條第一導線。可撓性基板具有彎折區以及與該彎折區相連接的元件區,其中可撓性基板於彎折區具有彎曲軸線。緩衝層分離設置於可撓性基板上。第一導線分別設置於相對應的緩衝層上,且第一導線自元件區沿第一方向延伸至彎折區,其中位於彎折區的第一導線與彎曲軸線的夾角為θ1,且1°≦θ1≦30°。 A flexible electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a flexible substrate, a plurality of buffer layers, and a plurality of first wires. The flexible substrate has a bending region and an element region connected to the bending region, wherein the flexible substrate has a bending axis in the bending region. The buffer layer is separately provided on the flexible substrate. The first wires are respectively disposed on the corresponding buffer layers, and the first wires extend from the element area to the bending area in a first direction, wherein the angle between the first wire located in the bending area and the bending axis is θ1, and 1 ° ≦ θ1 ≦ 30 °.

基於上述,在本發明上述實施例的可撓性電子裝置中,由於緩衝層分離設置於可撓性基板上,且第一導線分別設置於相對應的緩衝層上,其中位於彎折區的第一導線與彎曲軸線的夾角為θ1,且1°≦θ1≦30°。如此一來,可明顯降低位於彎折區之第一導線在彎折時所承受之拉應力,進而改善導線易於彎折處產生斷線的問題。 Based on the above, in the flexible electronic device of the above embodiment of the present invention, since the buffer layer is separately disposed on the flexible substrate, and the first wires are respectively disposed on the corresponding buffer layers, wherein The angle between a wire and the bending axis is θ1, and 1 ° ≦ θ1 ≦ 30 °. In this way, the tensile stress experienced by the first wire located in the bending area during bending can be significantly reduced, thereby improving the problem of broken wires where the wire is easily bent.

為讓本發明的上述特徵和優點能更明顯易懂,下文特舉實施例,並配合所附圖式作詳細說明如下。 In order to make the above features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, embodiments are hereinafter described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In this embodiment, the flexible electronic device 100 is, for example, a flexible display, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

可撓性基板S可具有彎折區102、元件區104以及外接電路區106,其中彎折區102可設置於元件區104和外接電路區106之間,且元件區104與彎折區102可相連接。在本實施例中,可撓性基板S於彎折區102中可具有彎曲軸線BA,如此可以彎曲軸線BA為基準,將可撓性基板S的外接電路區106彎折至可撓 性基板S的背面,以實現窄邊框設計。舉例來說,對於彎折之後的可撓性電子裝置100而言,元件區104與外接電路區106在垂直於可撓性基板S的方向相互重疊。可撓性基板S的材料例如是聚亞醯胺(polyimide,PI)。 The flexible substrate S may have a bending region 102, a device region 104, and an external circuit region 106.

For example, for the flexible electronic device 100 after bending, the component region 104 and the external circuit region 106 overlap each other in a direction perpendicular to the flexible substrate S. The material of the flexible substrate S is, for example, polyimide (PI).

在本實施例中,元件區104可為可撓性電子裝置100的顯示區。也就是說,元件區104可包括畫素陣列(未繪示)。在一些實施例中,畫素陣列可包括多條掃描線、多條資料線、多個畫素電極和多個主動元件,其中掃描線、資料線和畫素電極可分別電性連接至主動元件。舉例來說,掃描線、資料線和畫素電極可分別與主動元件之閘極、源極和汲極電性連接。在另一些實施例中,畫素陣列可包括發光二極體和主動元件。發光二極體例如是有機發光二極體(OLED)、微型發光二極體(μLED)或其組合。主動元件可採用薄膜電晶體(TFT),例如底閘型電晶體、頂閘型電晶體、立體型電晶體或其它合適的電晶體。底閘型的電晶體之閘極位於半導體層之下方,頂閘型電晶體之閘極位於半導體層之上方,而立體型電晶體之半導體層通道延伸非位於一平面。半導體層可為單層或多層結構,且其材料包含非晶矽、微晶矽、奈米晶矽、多晶矽、單晶矽、有機半導體材料、氧化物半導體材料、奈米碳管/桿或其它合適的材料或前述之組合。 In this embodiment, the element area 104 may be a display area of the flexible electronic device 100. That is, the element region 104 may include a pixel array (not shown). In some embodiments, the pixel array may include multiple scan lines, multiple data lines, multiple pixel electrodes, and multiple active devices, wherein the scan lines, data lines, and pixel electrodes may be electrically connected to the active devices, respectively. .

應注意的是,本實施例是以圓形輪廓之元件區104為例進行說明,但本發明不以此為限。在其他實施例中,元件區104也可依據設計呈現矩形、三角形或是其他任何形狀之輪廓。 It should be noted that this embodiment is described by taking the circular contoured element region 104 as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the element region 104 may also be rectangular, triangular or any other shape according to the design.

在本實施例中,緩衝層BL可分離設置於可撓性基板S上。如此一來,可降低位於彎折區之緩衝層BL在彎折時所承受之拉應力,以改善緩衝層BL於彎折處易產生裂縫的問題,進而避免形成於緩衝層BL上之走線(例如後述將提到的第一導線M1或第二導線M2)在彎折時產生斷線的問題。緩衝層BL的材料可以是無機材料、有機材料或其組合。舉例來說,無機材料可以是氧化矽(SiOx)、氮化矽(SiNx)或其組合;而有機材料可以是聚醯亞胺(polyimide,PI)、聚醯胺酸(polyamic acid,PAA)、聚醯胺(polyamide,PA)、聚乙烯醇(polyvinyl alcohol,PVA)、聚乙烯醇肉桂酸酯(polyvinyl cinnamate,PVCi)、其他適合的光阻材料或其組合。緩衝層BL的厚度例如是大於等於500Å且小於等於10000Å。在本實施例中,緩衝層BL可以是由SiOx和SiNx所構成之複合材料,但本發明不以此為限。緩衝層BL的形成方法例如是先於可撓性基板S上形成緩衝材料層(未繪示),之後再圖案化上述緩衝材料層,以於可撓性基板S上形成分離設置的緩衝層BL。在一些實施例中,可採用微影(lithography)的方式圖案化所述緩衝材料層,但本發明不以此為限。 In this embodiment, the buffer layer BL is detachably disposed on the flexible substrate S. In this way, the tensile stress to which the buffer layer BL located in the bending area is reduced can be reduced to improve the problem that the buffer layer BL is prone to cracks at the bend, thereby avoiding the wiring formed on the buffer layer BL (For example, the first conducting wire M1 or the second conducting wire M2 which will be mentioned later) The problem of disconnection occurs during bending. The material of the buffer layer BL may be an inorganic material, an organic material, or a combination thereof. For example, the inorganic material may be silicon oxide (SiO x ), silicon nitride (SiN x ), or a combination thereof; and the organic material may be polyimide (PI), polyamic acid (PAA) ), Polyamide (PA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinyl cinnamate (PVCi), other suitable photoresistive materials, or combinations thereof. The thickness of the buffer layer BL is, for example, 500 Å or more and 10,000 Å or less. In this embodiment, the buffer layer BL may be a composite material composed of SiO x and SiN x , but the present invention is not limited thereto. The method for forming the buffer layer BL is, for example, forming a buffer material layer (not shown) on the flexible substrate S, and then patterning the buffer material layer to form a separately provided buffer layer BL on the flexible substrate S. . In some embodiments, the buffer material layer may be patterned by lithography, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

除此之外,為了避免環境中的水氣或氧氣進入可撓性電子裝置100的內部,進而影響設置在元件區104中之元件(例如上述所提到之主動元件)。在一些實施例中,緩衝層BL可分為兩個部分,例如緩衝層BL的其中一個部分分離設置於可撓性基板S的彎折區102上;而緩衝層BL的另一個部分則整面地覆蓋於可撓 性基板S的元件區104之上,如此可藉由緩衝層BL具有良好的阻水氧表現來避免水氣或氧氣進入元件區104中。在上述的實施例中,可藉由選擇性地對設置在彎折區102上的緩衝材料層進行圖案化製程,使得緩衝層BL分離設置於可撓性基板S的彎折區102之上並整面覆蓋於可撓性基板S的元件區104之上。 In addition, in order to prevent water vapor or oxygen in the environment from entering the interior of the flexible electronic device 100, the components (for example, the active components mentioned above) disposed in the component area 104 are affected. In some embodiments, the buffer layer BL may be divided into two parts, for example, one part of the buffer layer BL is separately disposed on the bending region 102 of the flexible substrate S; and the other part of the buffer layer BL is the entire surface. Ground covered in flexible Above the element region 104 of the flexible substrate S, in this way, moisture or oxygen can be prevented from entering the element region 104 by the buffer layer BL having a good water blocking and oxygen performance. In the above embodiment, the buffer material layer disposed on the bending region 102 can be selectively patterned, so that the buffer layer BL is separated and disposed on the bending region 102 of the flexible substrate S, and The entire surface is covered on the element region 104 of the flexible substrate S.

在本實施例中,第一導線M1可分別設置於相對應的緩衝層BL上,其中第一導線M1自元件區104沿第一方向D1延伸至彎折區102(如圖1A所示),其中位於彎折區102的第一導線M1與彎曲軸線BA的夾角為θ1,且1°≦θ1≦30°。如此一來,可明顯降低位於彎折區102之第一導線M1在彎折時所承受之拉應力,以改善導線易於彎折處產生斷線的問題,即便在彎折後之可撓性電子裝置100的彎折半徑小於0.25mm的情況下,位於彎折區102的第一導線M1也不易產生斷線的問題。也就是說,可藉由進一步降低可撓性電子裝置100的彎折半徑來實現更窄之邊框設計。 In this embodiment, the first conductive lines M1 may be respectively disposed on the corresponding buffer layers BL, wherein the first conductive lines M1 extend from the element region 104 along the first direction D1 to the bending region 102 (as shown in FIG. 1A), The included angle between the first lead M1 and the bending axis BA in the bending area 102 is θ1, and 1 ° ≦ θ1 ≦ 30 °. In this way, the tensile stress experienced by the first wire M1 located in the bending area 102 during bending can be significantly reduced, so as to improve the problem of wire breakage where the wire is easy to bend, even after the bendable flexible electronics When the bending radius of the device 100 is less than 0.25 mm, the first wire M1 located in the bending area 102 is not prone to the problem of disconnection. That is, a narrower frame design can be achieved by further reducing the bending radius of the flexible electronic device 100.

在本實施例中,元件區104中的元件可藉由第一導線M1電性連接至設置在外接電路區106的驅動電路DC。第一導線M1的材料可為導電材料,例如金屬、金屬氧化物、金屬氮化物、金屬氮氧化物或其組合。舉例來說,第一導線M1的材料可以是鋁(Al)、鈦(Ti)、鉬(Mo)、Ti/Al/Ti或Mo/Al/Mo。第一導線M1的厚度例如是大於等於500Å且小於等於8000Å。第一導線M1的形成方法例如是物理氣相沉積法(PVD)。在本實施例中,第一導線M1是以斜直線為例進行說明,但本發明不限於此。在其他實施例中, 第一導線M1也可為鋸齒狀(zigzag)、網狀或其組合,以提升第一導線M1所能夠承受之應力,進而改善導線易於彎折處產生斷線的問題。 In this embodiment, the elements in the element region 104 can be electrically connected to the driving circuit DC provided in the external circuit region 106 through the first wire M1. The material of the first wire M1 may be a conductive material, such as a metal, a metal oxide, a metal nitride, a metal oxynitride, or a combination thereof. For example, the material of the first wire M1 may be aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), molybdenum (Mo), Ti / Al / Ti, or Mo / Al / Mo. The thickness of the first conductive wire M1 is, for example, 500 Å or more and 8000 Å or less. A method for forming the first conductive line M1 is, for example, a physical vapor deposition (PVD) method. In this embodiment, the first lead M1 is described by taking an oblique straight line as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, The first conductive wire M1 may also be zigzag, mesh or a combination thereof, so as to improve the stress that the first conductive wire M1 can withstand, thereby improving the problem of disconnection where the conductive wire is easily bent.

在一些實施例中,位於彎折區102的第一導線M1與彎曲軸線BA的夾角θ1可大於等於2.9°且小於等於26.6°(例如圖1C所示之距離A與距離B之比例為2:1),如此可進一步降低位於彎折區102之第一導線M1在彎折時所承受之拉應力,並且還可使可撓性電子裝置100具備微型化設計。 In some embodiments, the angle θ1 between the first wire M1 and the bending axis BA in the bending area 102 may be greater than or equal to 2.9 ° and less than or equal to 26.6 ° (for example, the ratio of the distance A to the distance B shown in FIG. 1C is 2: 1) In this way, the tensile stress that the first wire M1 located in the bending area 102 undergoes during bending can be further reduced, and the flexible electronic device 100 can be provided with a miniaturized design.

在一些實施例中,如圖1B或圖1C所示,位於彎折區102的緩衝層BL與彎曲軸線BA的夾角為θ2,且θ2約等於θ1。換句話說,對於彎折區102而言,緩衝層BL與第一導線M1具有相似之圖案。舉例來說,對於彎折區102而言,緩衝層BL於可撓性基板S上的垂直投影相同於第一導線M1於可撓性基板S上的垂直投影,或者是緩衝層BL於可撓性基板S上的垂直投影為第一導線M1於可撓性基板S上的垂直投影等比例放大0至2倍。在此實施例中,可藉由先於可撓性基板S上依序形成緩衝材料層和第一導線材料層,之後再藉由圖案化製程來同時移除第一導線材料層和位於其下之緩衝材料層,以形成圖案相似且呈現上下疊置的第一導線M1和緩衝層BL。 In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1B or FIG. 1C, an included angle between the buffer layer BL and the bending axis BA in the bending region 102 is θ2, and θ2 is approximately equal to θ1. In other words, for the bending region 102, the buffer layer BL and the first conductive line M1 have a similar pattern. For example, for the bending region 102, the vertical projection of the buffer layer BL on the flexible substrate S is the same as the vertical projection of the first wire M1 on the flexible substrate S, or the buffer layer BL is on the flexible substrate S. The vertical projection on the flexible substrate S is magnified by 0 to 2 times the same as the vertical projection of the first wire M1 on the flexible substrate S.

如圖1A所示,第二導線M2與彎曲軸線BA的夾角可為θ3,且1°≦θ3≦30°,如此可明顯降低位於彎折區102之第二導線M2在彎折時所承受之拉應力,以改善導線易於彎折處產生斷線的問題,即便在彎折後之可撓性電子裝置100的彎折半徑小於0.25mm的情況下,位於彎折處之第二導線M1也不易產生斷線的問題。 As shown in FIG. 1A, the included angle between the second conductive wire M2 and the bending axis BA can be θ3, and 1 ° ≦ θ3 ≦ 30 °, so that the second conductive wire M2 located in the bending area 102 can be significantly reduced during bending.

For example, for the bending region 102, the vertical projection of the first insulating layer ILD on the flexible substrate S is the same as the vertical projection of the first wire M1 on the flexible substrate S. In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1B, for the bending region 102, the vertical projection of the first insulating layer ILD on the flexible substrate S is the same as the flexibility of the first conductive wire M1 and the second conductive wire M2.

That is, for the bending region 102, the pattern formed by the first conductive line M1 and the second conductive line M2 may be similar to the pattern of the first insulating layer ILD.

在一些實施例中,對於彎折區102而言,第二絕緣層OBP可整個覆蓋於第一導線M1和第二導線M2之上。在另一些實施例中,第二絕緣層OBP可包括多個第二絕緣層OBP(如圖1B所示),且上述的第二絕緣層OBP分別覆蓋於相對應的第一導線M1之上。在此實施例中,第二絕緣層OBP與第一絕緣層ILD可具有相似的圖案。舉例來說,對於彎折區102而言,第一絕緣層ILD於可撓性基板S上的垂直投影相同於第二絕緣層OBP於可撓性基板S上的垂直投影(如圖1B所示)。 In some embodiments, for the bending region 102, the second insulating layer OBP may entirely cover the first conductive line M1 and the second conductive line M2. In other embodiments, the second insulating layer OBP may include a plurality of second insulating layers OBP (as shown in FIG. 1B), and the above-mentioned second insulating layers OBP respectively cover the corresponding first wires M1. In this embodiment, the second insulating layer OBP and the first insulating layer ILD may have a similar pattern. For example, for the bending region 102, the vertical projection of the first insulating layer ILD on the flexible substrate S is the same as the vertical projection of the second insulating layer OBP on the flexible substrate S (as shown in FIG. 1B). ).

基於上述,在上述實施例的可撓性電子裝置100中,由於緩衝層BL分離設置於可撓性基板S上,而第一導線M1分別設置於相對應的緩衝層BL上,並且位於彎折區102的第一導線M1與彎曲軸線BA的夾角為θ1,且1°≦θ1≦30°。如此一來,可明顯降低位於彎折區之第一導線M1在彎折時所承受之拉應力,進而改善導線易於彎折處產生斷線的問題。 Based on the above, in the flexible electronic device 100 of the above embodiment, since the buffer layer BL is separately disposed on the flexible substrate S, the first wires M1 are respectively disposed on the corresponding buffer layer BL and are located at the bends. The included angle between the first lead M1 and the bending axis BA in the region 102 is θ1, and 1 ° ≦ θ1 ≦ 30 °. In this way, the tensile stress to which the first wire M1 located in the bending area is subjected during bending can be significantly reduced, and the problem of disconnection at the place where the wire is easily bent can be improved.

圖2為本發明另一實施例的可撓性電子裝置的上視示意 圖,其中可撓性電子裝置200與可撓性電子裝置100相似,其不同之處在於,元件區204之輪廓為矩形,且彎折區202設置在元件區204的四周,其餘相同或相似元件使用相同或相似標號,並且相同或相似元件的連接關係、材料及其製程已於前文中進行詳盡地描述,故於下文中不再重複贅述。另外,為了清楚起見,圖2中省略了圖1A中的外接電路區106。 FIG. 2 is a schematic top view of a flexible electronic device according to another embodiment of the present invention; The figure shows that the flexible electronic device 200 is similar to the flexible electronic device 100. The difference is that the outline of the component area 204 is rectangular, and the bending area 202 is provided around the component area 204, and the rest of the same or similar components The same or similar reference numerals are used, and the connection relationship, materials and processes of the same or similar components have been described in detail in the foregoing, so they will not be repeated hereafter. In addition, for clarity, the external circuit area 106 in FIG. 1A is omitted in FIG. 2.

The bending region 202 is disposed between the device region 204 and the external circuit region. In this embodiment, the outline of the element region 204 is rectangular, and the bending region 202 is disposed on four sides of the element region 204, wherein the element region 204 is connected to the bending region 202. The flexible substrate S may have a bending axis BA in the bending region 202. In this embodiment, each bending region 202 may have a bending axis BA, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the bending axis BA of each bending region 202 can be used as a reference, and the external circuit region of the flexible substrate S can be bent to the back of the flexible substrate S (such as the device region 204 and the external circuit). Areas overlap each other) to achieve a narrow border design.

在本實施例中,第一導線M1以及第二導線M2分別設置於不同的彎折區202中,如此可降低彎折後之可撓性電子裝置200的厚度。舉例來說,第一導線M1設置在元件區204一側的彎折區202中;而第二導線M2設置在元件區204另一側的彎折區202中。 In this embodiment, the first conductive wire M1 and the second conductive wire M2 are respectively disposed in different bending regions 202, so that the thickness of the flexible electronic device 200 after bending can be reduced. For example, the first conductive wire M1 is disposed in the bending region 202 on one side of the element region 204; and the second conductive wire M2 is disposed in the bending region 202 on the other side of the element region 204.

實驗1Experiment 1

實驗例1至實驗例4以及比較例1、2和比較例A~F的疊層以彎折半徑(R)為0.25mm來測試各疊層的應力,測試結果如下表1所示,其中距離A和距離B可參照圖1C或圖1D。 The stacks of Experimental Example 1 to Experimental Example 4 and Comparative Examples 1, 2 and Comparative Examples A to F tested the stress of each stack with a bending radius (R) of 0.25 mm. The test results are shown in Table 1 below, where the distance A and distance B can refer to FIG. 1C or FIG. 1D.

由表1可知,當彎折區的導線與彎曲軸線的夾角大於等於1度且小於等於30度的情況下,位於彎折區之導線在彎折時所承受之應力明顯降低。另外,當彎折區的導線與彎曲軸線的夾角大於等於2.9度且小於等於26.6度的情況下,位於彎折區之導線在彎折時所承受之拉應力更低。除此之外,相較於緩衝層整面覆蓋於可撓性基板上之疊層(比較例A至比較例F),緩衝層分離設置於可撓性基板上可明顯降低位於彎折區之導線在彎折時所承受之拉應力。 As can be seen from Table 1, when the angle between the wire in the bending zone and the bending axis is 1 degree or more and 30 degrees or less, the stress on the wire in the bending zone is significantly reduced during bending. In addition, when the angle between the wire in the bending area and the bending axis is 2.9 degrees or more and 26.6 degrees or less, the wire in the bending area undergoes lower tensile stress during bending. In addition, compared to a laminate (Comparative Example A to Comparative Example F) in which the entire buffer layer is covered on a flexible substrate, the buffer layer is separately disposed on the flexible substrate, which can significantly reduce The tensile stress that the wire is subjected to when bent.

實驗2Experiment 2

在不同彎折半徑下對實驗例1至實驗例4和比較例2進行拉伸應變(tensile strain)測試,實驗結果顯示於表2。 The tensile strain tests were performed on Experimental Example 1 to Experimental Example 4 and Comparative Example 2 under different bending radii. The experimental results are shown in Table 2.

由表2可知,即便彎折半徑從0.25mm減小至0.1mm,彎折區的導線與彎曲軸線的夾角在大於等於1度且小於等於30度的情況下,仍可將拉伸應變控制在約0.05%至-0.2%之間,由其是夾角在大於等於2.9度且小於等於26.6度的情況下,更可良好地將拉伸應變控制在約0%至-0.2%之間。反觀,比較例2之疊層不管是在彎折半徑0.25mm或是0.1mm,其拉伸應變都遠大於在相對應之彎折半徑的實驗例1至實驗例4。 It can be known from Table 2 that even if the bending radius is reduced from 0.25mm to 0.1mm, the tensile strain can still be controlled at the angle between the wire in the bending zone and the bending axis of 1 degree or more and 30 degrees or less. Between about 0.05% and -0.2%, since the included angle is 2.9 degrees or more and 26.6 degrees or less, the tensile strain can be better controlled between about 0% and -0.2%. In contrast, whether the laminate of Comparative Example 2 is at a bending radius of 0.25 mm or 0.1 mm, the tensile strain is much larger than that of Experimental Examples 1 to 4 at the corresponding bending radius.

綜上所述,由於上述實施例的可撓性電子裝置中,由於緩衝層分離設置於可撓性基板上,而第一導線分別設置於相對應的緩衝層上,並且位於彎折區的第一導線與彎曲軸線的夾角為θ1,且1°≦θ1≦30°。如此一來,可明顯降低位於彎折區之第一導線在彎折時所承受之拉應力,進而改善導線易於彎折處產生斷線的問題。 In summary, in the flexible electronic device of the above embodiment, the buffer layer is separately disposed on the flexible substrate, and the first wires are respectively disposed on the corresponding buffer layer and located in the first part of the bending area. The angle between a wire and the bending axis is θ1, and 1 ° ≦ θ1 ≦ 30 °. In this way, the tensile stress experienced by the first wire located in the bending area during bending can be significantly reduced, thereby improving the problem of broken wires where the wire is easily bent.
