- the elastic device according to any one of ⁇ 1> to ⁇ 4>, further comprising an elastic member that contacts the first region and the second region.
- a plurality of electronic components exist, The plurality of electronic components include a first electronic component and a second electronic component, The stretchable device according to any one of ⁇ 1> to ⁇ 5>, wherein the first electronic component is arranged in the first region, and the second electronic component is arranged in the second region.
- the first electronic component is a body surface close type electronic component
- the stretchable device according to ⁇ 6>, wherein the second electronic component is a body surface-separated electronic component.
- ⁇ 8> The stretchable device according to ⁇ 6> or ⁇ 7>, wherein the first electronic component and the second electronic component do not overlap in a direction perpendicular to the first region.
- ⁇ 9> Any one of ⁇ 6> to ⁇ 8>, wherein the sum of the thickness of the first electronic component and the thickness of the second electronic component is greater than the longest distance between the first region and the second region.
- the stretchable device described in . ⁇ 10> The stretchable device according to any one of ⁇ 6> to ⁇ 9>, wherein the first electronic component and the second electronic component overlap in a direction parallel to the first region.
- a plurality of electronic components exist, The plurality of electronic components are arranged in both the first region and the second region, The second main surface has a third region opposite to the first region, and the third region has a body surface region that can be contacted with the body surface, The total area of the installation surfaces of the plurality of electronic components installed in the first region and the second region is larger than the area of the body surface region, and the total area is one of ⁇ 1> to ⁇ 3>.
