Abstract

An extremely stretchable electroluminescent device is fabricated by P. S. Lee and co-workers, as described on page 4490. The stretchable alternating-current electroluminescent (ACEL) device possesses extremely high stretchability, and can be linearly stretched to 700% with the luminance being maintained at 70% of the initial value before stretching. The device can be repeatedly stretched to 400% with stable emission behavior. The presented device will provide new opportunities in stretchable lighting, volumetric 3D displays, interactive readout systems, and other unprecedented applications.
