This work has demonstrated novel experimental methods and their relevant analysis to evaluate the fracture properties of thin brittle films on compliant substrates for flexible optoelectronic devices. Based on the understanding of the failure mechanisms, mechanical calculation has been provided to estimate the thin film fracture toughness and film delamination toughness. These values serve as design parameters on the device flexibility and reliability.
