Abstract: A stretchable fabric signal path may include a conductive strand located between first and second outer fabric layers. The outer fabric layers may be formed from intertwined strands of elastic material. The conductive strand may have a wavy shape to accommodate stretching of the stretchable fabric signal path. First and second inner fabric layers may be located between the outer stretchable fabric layers. The inner fabric layers may be formed from intertwined strands of non-elastic material. The inner fabric layers may have strands that are intertwined with the outer fabric layers to serve as anchor points for maintaining the shape of the conductive strand as the stretchable fabric signal path expands and contracts. The outer fabric layers and inner fabric layers may be woven. The conductive strand may convey electrical signals such as audio signals, power signals, data signals, or other suitable signals.

Abstract: Interlacing equipment may be used to form fabric (12) and to create a gap (66) in the fabric. The fabric may include one or more conductive strands (80c). An insertion tool (54) may be used to align an electrical component (26) with the conductive strands (80c) during interlacing operations. A soldering tool may be used to remove insulation from the conductive strands to expose conductive segments on the conductive strands. The soldering tool may be used to solder the conductive segments to the electrical component. The solder connections (82) may be located in grooves (50) in the electrical component (26). An encapsulation tool may dispense encapsulation material (260) in the grooves (50) to encapsulate the solder connections (82). After the electrical component (26) is electrically connected to the conductive strands (80c), the insertion tool 854) may position and release the electrical component in the gap. A component retention tool (220) may temporarily be used to retain the electrical component in the gap as interlacing operations continue.

Abstract: An item may have a flexible support structure and may include a flexible component. The flexible component may have electrical components mounted on component mounting regions in a flexible circuit substrate. The component mounting regions may be interconnected by serpentine interconnect paths or other flexible interconnect paths. The flexible circuit substrate and component mounting regions may extend along a longitudinal axis of the flexible component or may form a two-dimensional array. Two-dimensional mesh-shaped flexible circuit substrates may be used in forming displays. The mesh-shaped flexible circuit substrates may be auxetic substrates that widen when stretched (e.g., structures with a negative Poisson's ratio that become thicker perpendicular to applied force when stretched) and that therefore reduce image distortion. Temporary tethers may help hold flexible circuit substrates together until intentionally broken following assembly of a flexible component into the flexible support structure.
Abstract translation: 项目可能有一个灵活的支持结构，可能包括一个灵活的组件。 柔性部件可以具有安装在柔性电路基板中的部件安装区域上的电气部件。 部件安装区域可以通过蛇形互连路径或其他柔性互连路径互连。 柔性电路基板和部件安装区域可以沿着柔性部件的纵向轴线延伸，或者可以形成二维阵列。 二维网状柔性电路基板可用于形成显示器。 网状柔性电路基板可以是拉伸时拉宽的拉胀基板（例如，具有负泊松比的结构，当与拉伸时垂直于施加的力变得更厚时），并因此减少图像失真。 临时系绳可以帮助将柔性电路基板保持在一起，直到在将柔性部件组装到柔性支撑结构中之后有意破坏。
