Electrically conductive stretchable interconnect using twisted nature of yarn fibers and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

Disclosed herein are an electrically conductive stretchable interconnect using a twisted nature of yarn fibers and a method of manufacturing the same. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the electrically conductive stretchable interconnect includes: an elastic body in which a stretchable tunnel is formed in a length direction; and a conductive twisted yarn including a stretchable structure positioned inside the stretchable tunnel and extended by a force applied in the length direction and an extending part extending from the stretchable structure to an outside of the elastic body.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An electrically conductive stretchable interconnect, comprising:
 an elastic body in which a stretchable tunnel is formed in a length direction; and   a conductive twisted yarn including a stretchable structure positioned inside the stretchable tunnel and extended by a force applied in the length direction and an extending part extending from the stretchable structure to an outside of the elastic body.   
     
     
         2 . The electrically conductive stretchable interconnect of  claim 1 , wherein the stretchable structure is separated from the elastic body. 
     
     
         3 . The electrically conductive stretchable interconnect of  claim 1 , wherein the stretchable structure has a helically twisted structure. 
     
     
         4 . The electrically conductive stretchable interconnect of  claim 1 , further comprising: a crimping contact electrically connected to the extending part. 
     
     
         5 . The electrically conductive stretchable interconnect of  claim 1 , wherein the conductive twisted yarn is a conductive coating yarn. 
     
     
         6 . The electrically conductive stretchable interconnect of  claim 1 , wherein the conductive twisted yarn is formed by braiding at least two single yarns. 
     
     
         7 . The electrically conductive stretchable interconnect of  claim 1 , wherein the conductive twisted yarn is plural and the plurality of conductive twisted yarns are each disposed in the length direction and are spaced apart from each other for electrical insulation.
