On page 2673 , T. B. Carmichael and co‐workers describe an emerging methodology in which devices, rather than device interconnects, are designed to tolerate strain. Intrinsically stretchable light‐emitting devices provide uniform and diffuse light emission over large areas, suitable for new applications in lighting. The image shows an intrinsically stretchable light‐emitting electrochemical cell, in which the integration of an electroluminescent compound with an elastomeric material enables device operation during stretching and bending.
