Abstract
Optical devices with different regions or pixels can form an image. An opaque-regioncan be used to separate different pixels. Sometimes the optical device needs to be flexible, for elongation or stretching onto a curved surface. But, the opaque-regioncan be damaged as it is stretched. A flexible optical device can include a modified opaque-regionfor improved flexibility. The opaque-regioncan include a thin-filmwith multiple cavities, multiple zones, or both. Each zonecan have a shape optimized to both block incoming light and for flexibility. Each zonecan be encircled and separated from adjacent zonesby a groove. The cavitiesand the separate zonescan allow the opaque-regionto bend or stretch without cracking or delamination of the thin-film
