In various embodiments, a stretchable electroluminescent device may be provided. The electroluminescent device may include a first contact structure. The first contact structure may include an ionic conductor layer. The electroluminescent device may also include a second contact structure. The electroluminescent device may additionally include an emission layer between the first contact structure and the second contact structure. The emission layer may be configured to emit light when an alternating voltage is applied between the first contact structure and the second contact structure.
