1. A first device comprising:
- a flexible substrate having a length in a given direction and an outer perimeter;
at least one flexible OLED device deposited on the flexible substrate;
wherein the flexible substrate has at least one cut region;
wherein the at least one cut region does not bisect the outer perimeter and is not connected to the outer perimeter through another cut region;
wherein the flexible substrate is expandable due to separation of the flexible substrate at the at least one cut region that is accommodated by bending of the flexible substrate;
wherein at least one portion of the flexible substrate deforms out of plane due to the at least one cut region when a stretching force is applied to opposite ends of the first device in the given direction; and
wherein the length of the flexible substrate in the given direction increases.

Abstract
A flexible OLED is provided on a flexible substrate. The flexible substrate has at least cut region. The substrate is expandable due to the separation of the flexible substrate at the cut region that is accommodated by bending of the flexible substrate. The substrate on which the flexible OLED is deposited on may be expanded without plastic deformation.
