Abstract

A flexible display device (50, 51) employs a discontinuous frontplane (60, 64) and a continuous backplane (70, 74). The discontinuous frontplane (60, 64) includes a primary frontplane region (61), a secondary frontplane region (63), and a spatial frontplane region (62) spatially separating the primary frontplane region (61) and the secondary frontplane region (63). The continuous backplane (70, 74) includes a primary backplane region (71), a secondary backplane region (73), and an interconnection backplane region (72) electrically interconnecting the primary backplane region (71) and the secondary backplane region (73). The primary frontplane region (61) and the primary backplane region (71) constitute a primary display (61, 71). The secondary frontplane region (63) and the secondary backplane region (73) constitute a secondary display (63, 73). The interconnection backplane region (72) defines the secondary display (63, 73) as an extension of the primary display (61, 71).
