Extremely Stretchable Electroluminescent Devices with Ionic Conductors

Abstract

An extremely stretchable electroluminescent device is fabricated based on alternating-current electroluminescent (ACEL) materials and ionic conductors. The stretchable 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 ACEL device can be repetitively stretched to 400% with stable emission behavior.
