Abstract
A hybrid document includes a flexible document and a component having a component substrate disposed in or on the flexible document. One or more inorganic light-emitting diodes, a controller electrically connected to the one or more inorganic light-emitting diodes for controlling the one or more inorganic light-emitting diodes, and a piezoelectric power source are disposed on the component substrate. The power source can include a plurality of electrically connected individual piezoelectric power-source elements electrically connected to the controller, the inorganic light-emitting diodes, or both. Each of the one or more inorganic light-emitting diodes, the controller, the component substrate, or each of the individual piezoelectric power-source elements can comprise a broken or separated tether. The component substrate can be a flexible substrate that is more flexible than any one of the inorganic light-emitting diodes, the controller, and the individual piezoelectric power-source elements.
