DISPLAY ON A STRETCHABLE SUBSTRATE
First Claim
1. A display comprising:
- a plurality of autonomous pixels on a stretchable substrate, an autonomous pixel comprising;
a display element anda control element arranged to sense an external stimulus and to generate, entirely within the autonomous pixel, a control signal to drive the display element based, at least in part, on a magnitude of the sensed external stimulusand the stretchable substrate comprising a plurality of less elastic regions separated by stretchable areas,wherein the less elastic regions are less stretchable than the surrounding stretchable areas, and wherein each control element of an autonomous pixel is located in or on one of the less elastic regions of the stretchable substrate.

Abstract
A display comprises a plurality of autonomous pixels on a stretchable substrate. Each autonomous pixel comprises a display element and a control element arranged to sense an external stimulus and to generate, entirely within the autonomous pixel, a control signal to drive the display element based, at least in part, on a magnitude of the sensed external stimulus. The stretchable substrate comprises a plurality of less elastic regions separated by stretchable areas, where the less elastic regions are less stretchable than the surrounding stretchable areas and each control element of an autonomous pixel is located in or on a less elastic region of the stretchable substrate.
