The present invention relates to substrates comprising a network comprising core shell liquid metal encapsulates comprising multi-functional ligands and processes of making and using such substrates. The core shell liquid metal particles are linked via ligands to form such network. Such networks volumetric conductivity increases under strain which maintains a substrate's resistance under strain. The constant resistance results in consistent thermal heating via resistive heating. Thus allowing a substrate that comprises such network to serve as an effective heat provider.

A manufacturing method of a circuit board and a display device are provided. In the method, an error caused by that pin alignment on a conventional flexible substrate after a pin column is disposed on the flexible substrate based on a second pin position and a hot pressing process is performed is adjusted, so that the pin alignment is more accurate after the flexible substrate on which a pin is disposed based on a position of the to-be-disposed pin column is finally hot pressed with the display panel, thereby avoiding a problem that the pin is misplaced or short-circuited, and improving a good rate of the product.
