Abstract
A deformable electronic device includes a flexible substrate supporting a plurality of pivot shafts each having its central axis aligned substantially parallel with a surface defined by the flexible substrate. A plurality of links interconnects the pivot shafts. Each link defines a pivoting aperture within which a pivot shaft can rotate without translation and a sliding aperture within which another pivot shaft can both rotate and translate. Each pivot shaft translates linearly from a first position within the sliding aperture to a second position within the sliding aperture that is different from the first position when the deformable electronic device deforms from a substantially planar state to a deformed state.
