Stretchable display device including stretchable buffer units

Abstract

A stretchable display device includes a display area having stretchable display units each including first islands on which pixels are disposed and first cut-out grooves between the first islands. A peripheral area is adjacent to the display area, the peripheral area includes stretchable peripheral units each including first lines on which driving circuits are disposed and first opening portions between the first lines. A buffer area is disposed between the display area and the peripheral area. The buffer area includes stretchable buffer units each including second islands, second cut-out grooves between the second islands, second lines connected to the second islands, and second opening portions between the second lines. Shapes of the second cut-out grooves may be different from shapes of the first cut-out grooves, and shapes of the second opening portions may be different from shapes of the first opening portions.
