A dynamically flexible article or device, such as a wristband, an armband, a rollable e-reader, or a belt, includes a flexible electronic component (e.g., a flexible display) and a support structure coupled to the flexible electronic component. The support structure is configured to limit bending of the flexible electronic component to a range within a bending tolerance of the flexible electronic component.

1. An article, comprising: a flexible electronic component comprising one or more flexible optoelectronic components configured to at least one of emit, reflect, or transflect light; and a support structure coupled to the flexible electronic component, the support structure comprising a first substrate and a second substrate movably connected to the first substrate, a plurality of slots being formed in the first substrate and a plurality of projections being formed on the second substrate, wherein each of the plurality of projections is movably disposed within a corresponding one of the plurality of slots, the plurality of slots configured to limit bending of the article and configured to limit torsion applied to the article to a range within a torsion tolerance of the flexible electronic component; and the plurality of slots comprises a first subset of slots and a second subset of slots formed across from the first subset, each of the first subset of slots having a different length, and each of the second subset of slots having a different length, and wherein the plurality of projections comprises a first subset of projections and a second subset of projections formed across from the first subset, each of the first subset of projections having a different length, and each of the second subset of projections having a different length, the lengths defined such that the article has a desired shape. 2. The article of claim 1, wherein the plurality of slots are formed proximate to or in a perimeter edge of the first substrate, and wherein the plurality of projections are formed proximate to or in a perimeter edge of the second substrate. 3. The article of claim 1, wherein a portion of the first substrate is locally fixedly attached to a portion of the second substrate at a fixation point. 4. The article of claim 1, wherein each slot defines a first stop surface and a second stop surface opposite the first stop surface, each first stop surface arranged to limit bending of the flexible electronic component when the article is in a first stable position, and each second stop surface arranged to limit bending of the flexible electronic component when the article is in a second stable position. 5. An article, comprising: a flexible electronic component; anda support structure coupled to the flexible electronic component, the support structure comprising a first substrate and a second substrate movably connected to the first substrate, a plurality of slots being formed in the first substrate and a plurality of projections being formed on the second substrate, wherein each of the plurality of projections is movably disposed within a corresponding one of the plurality of slots, the plurality of slots configured to limit bending of the article and configured to limit torsion applied to the article to a range within a torsion tolerance of the flexible electronic component,wherein the plurality of slots comprises a first subset of slots and a second subset of slots formed across from the first subset, each of the first subset of slots having a different length, and each of the second subset of slots having a different length, and wherein the plurality of projections comprises a first subset of projections and a second subset of projections formed across from the first subset, each of the first subset of projections having a different length, and each of the second subset of projections having a different length, the lengths defined such that the article has a desired shape. 6. The article of claim 5, wherein the plurality of slots are formed proximate to or in a perimeter edge of the first substrate, and wherein the plurality of projections are formed proximate to or in a perimeter edge of the second substrate. 7. The article of claim 5, wherein a portion of the first substrate is locally fixedly attached to a portion of the second substrate at a fixation point. 8. The article of claim 5, wherein each slot defines a first stop surface and a second stop surface opposite the first stop surface, each first stop surface arranged to limit bending of the flexible electronic component when the article is in a first stable position, and each second stop surface arranged to limit bending of the flexible electronic component when the article is in a second stable position. 9. An article, comprising: a flexible electronic component; and a support structure coupled to the flexible electronic component, the support structure comprising a first substrate and a second substrate movably connected to the first substrate, a plurality of slots being formed in the first substrate and a plurality of projections being formed on the second substrate, wherein each of the plurality of projections is movably disposed within a corresponding one of the plurality of slots, the plurality of slots configured to limit bending of the article and configured to limit torsion applied to the article to a range within a torsion tolerance of the flexible electronic component, wherein the flexible electronic component is flexible between a substantially flat position and a curved position prior to being coupled to the support structure; and the plurality of slots comprises a first subset of slots and a second subset of slots formed across from the first subset, each of the first subset of slots having a different length, and each of the second subset of slots having a different length, and wherein the plurality of projections comprises a first subset of projections and a second subset of projections formed across from the first subset, each of the first subset of projections having a different length, and each of the second subset of projections having a different length, the lengths defined such that the article has a desired shape. 10. The article of claim 9, wherein the plurality of slots are formed proximate to or in a perimeter edge of the first substrate, and wherein the plurality of projections are formed proximate to or in a perimeter edge of the second substrate. 11. The article of claim 9, wherein a portion of the first substrate is locally fixedly attached to a portion of the second substrate at a fixation point. 12. The article of claim 9, wherein each slot defines a first stop surface and a second stop surface opposite the first stop surface, each first stop surface arranged to limit bending of the flexible electronic component when the article is in a first stable position, and each second stop surface arranged to limit bending of the flexible electronic component when the article is in a second stable position.
