    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a flexible display device is provided. The method includes: preparing a first flexible substrate on which a display unit is formed; forming an encapsulation unit including a base substrate, a second flexible substrate formed on the base substrate, and a barrier layer formed on the second flexible substrate; combining the encapsulation unit with the display unit; and separating the base substrate from the second flexible substrate by using a difference between a coefficient of thermal expansion of the base substrate and a coefficient of thermal expansion of the second flexible substrate, by applying a heated solution between the base substrate and the second flexible substrate. The flexible display device is easily manufactured since the base substrate and the second flexible substrate, which have different coefficients of thermal expansion and are coupled to each other, are separable from each other by applying the heated solution.

  • Publication number: 20120092866
    Abstract: A lighting device has a base body of translucent material, in which several light-emitting diodes, which are applied to a flexible adhesive strip having integrated conductors, are arranged at intervals. A cavity is milled into the rear of the base body, the width and length of the cavity being slightly smaller than the width and length of the base body. A closed edge web is created along the periphery of the base body. An adhesive strip having light-emitting diodes is applied to the interior side of the edge web over the entire length in such a way that light-emitting diodes are arranged on the interior sides of opposing edge web sections. The light-emitting diodes illuminate a solid section of the base body in front of the cavity and produce a high luminous density on the front side. The rear side of the cavity is closed by a cover.
